A new study reveals how Schwann cells in the PNS degrade myelin following nerve injury.
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.
Epothilone, a cancer drug, appears to be effective in reducing scar tissue formation in spinal cord injuries and stimulating neuroregeneration, a new study reports.
VEGF-B can regenerate damaged peripheral nerves without causing new blood vessels to grow, a new study reports.
Researchers use electrical pulses delivered from cochlear implants to deliver gene therapy and regrow auditory neurons.
Researchers reprogram astrocytes to become functional neurons in living mammals.
Researchers have identified a chain reaction which triggers the regrowth of some damaged nerve cell branches. The finding could someday help improve treatments for nerve injuries which can cause loss of sensation or paralysis.
A new study reveals how the tiny mir-79 molecule regulates neural development in roundworms.
Researchers identify sympathetic nerves as critical players in organizing pancreatic cells during development.
Researchers suggest neural stem cells could be resistant to radiation. The stem cells could be roused from a hibernation-like state in order to reproduce and generate new cells which have the ability to migrate, replace injured cells and restore lost function.
Researchers restore significant bladder function, through nerve regeneration, in rats with severe spinal cord injuries.
Researchers mobilize the brain's native stem cells to replenish medium spiny neurons which are lost in Huntington's disease.
