Scientists have uncovered how a protein helps build and maintain vital brain connections, providing insights into the ...

Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But ...

Abstract: Potentials within and on the surface of a finite cylindrical volume conductor due to a single active nerve fiber along its center have been calculated by solving Laplace's equation using a ...

With the aid of a 3D printer, researchers at Uppsala University have succeeded in creating a model that resembles human nerve tissue. The model, which can be cultured from the patient’s own ...

Motor neurons are nerve cells that control our muscles by sending signals from the brain and spinal cord out to the body. In diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), these cells are ...

"It's important for research and drug testing to be able to print a large number of organoids in a reproducible way. Our method also makes it possible to include other types of nerve cells ...

The disruption of axons—the thread-like part of nerve cells that transmits electrical signals—is associated with Alzheimer's disease. One way axonal function may be hindered is through damage ...

A new understanding of how tumours exploit our nervous system is leading to new ways to treat cancer using familiar drugs ...

The enhanced permeability efficiencies still remain a big challenge in crossing the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Herein, a BBB-targeting delivery system based on transferrin (Tf)-poly(ethylene glycol) ...
