The scientists discovered a very simple circuitry of nerve cells underlying this regulation, reflecting an early evolutionary state of the nervous system. The locomotory system of many animals is ...

Nerve cells derived from human stem cells often serve as the basis for research into brain diseases. However, these cells differ considerably in their quality and produce varying results.

At first glance, nerve cells would appear to be energy hogs. The brain accounts for only about two percent of a human's body mass, but burns through 20 percent of its energy budget.

A team of researchers at Rowan University has developed an injectable biomaterial that could significantly improve recovery ...

The authors of the study created their nerve conduits by rolling up cell-made sheets of extracellular matrix. Credit: Journal of Neural Engineering (2024). DOI: 10.1088/1741-2552/ad749d ...

About 10% to 20% of the vagus nerve cells that connect with the digestive system send commands from the brain to control muscles that move food through the gut, according to the textbook "Nerves ...

Early research has identified a new chemical that was able to stimulate nerve growth in lab-grown cells and help animals with damaged nerves regain muscle movement.
