VEGF-B can regenerate damaged peripheral nerves without causing new blood vessels to grow, a new study reports.
Researchers have identified key components of a mechanism that allows the nervous system to heal itself.
A new study reveals neutrophils can help the nervous system clear nerve debris and assist with neuroregeneration.
Studying axolotl, the Mexican Salamander, researchers discover the key to regeneration lies within the immune system.
Researchers have identified two proteins that prevent the formation of scars in the brain and help promote the regeneration of new neural tissue.
New research points to molecules which help axons to branch and grow. The study could assist in finding new treatments for nerve regeneration after injury.
Researchers have identified a master gene, HIF-1alpha, is involved in orchestrating the regrowth of damaged peripheral nerves.
Manipulating the genes of the Drosophila fruit fly to promote the growth of one part of a neuron simultaneously stunts the growth of the other part, new research suggests.
Findings could pave the way for developing new treatments to restore vision and repair retinal damage.
Researchers have successfully restored the ability to walk in mice paralyzed as a result of spinal cord injuries with the help of a small molecular compound.
Skin-related stem cells may be key to helping restore the myelin sheath in patients with multiple sclerosis. Using mouse models, researchers discovered melanocyte stem cells can, under the right conditions, function as cells that create myelin.
Researchers have discovered a way to stimulate the growth of corticospinal axons. The finding could potentially help with the development of new treatments for those suffering from spinal cord injuries.
