A drug made up of a cage of nanoparticles and antibodies created neurons from another type of brain cell, which relieved ...

Alzheimer's disease can develop not only due to the accumulation of beta-amyloid, but also due to a molecular malfunction that disrupts the functioning of neural circuits at an early stage of the ...

A fruit fly study shows motor neurons do more than relay commands: They send signals back to the brain and organize movement ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) gradually destroys motor neurons— the nerve cells that transmit signals from the brain to the muscles. Now researchers have discovered an unexpected mechanism for ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that, according to the CDC, currently affects around ...

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), the virus best known for causing cold sores, infects a large portion of the world's ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is an incurable neurological disorder affecting motor neurons—nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle ...

Neuroscientist Nazareth Castellanos explains how moments of silence calm the nervous system and help bring the mind back to ...

University of South Alabama researchers report that neurons can transfer mitochondria directly to cancer cells, enhancing their metastatic potential. Oncologists have long suspected that tumors thrive ...

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells. “Mimicking the behaviour of biological neurons ...

New ICMR-NIN research shows lead exposure may disrupt nerve-cell lysosomes and worsen cellular damage linked to amyloid-beta, ...
