Researchers at Linköping University have built artificial neurons from conductive plastics that replicate up to 17 biological ...

Using microelectrodes, scientists could show that cells in the retina play different roles. The produce different signals, which is important for the processing of visual information. These ...

An artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve ...

In a fruit fly, nerve cells that detect limb movement are silenced when the insect walks or grooms. This on-off switch may help the nervous system to shift between two states: one helps keep the body ...

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those ...

Researchers studying fruit flies discovered that nerve cells sensing limb motion are turned off when the insect moves, allowing the brain to switch between stabilizing posture and enabling dynamic ...

A new clinical trial has revealed encouraging results for a muscle-targeting therapy aimed at improving motor function in ...

No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by scientists in a new study on the human sense of touch.

Researchers at the University of Calgary studying a lethal lung disease called pulmonary fibrosis have found that neurons ...

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers have created a biodegradable nerve guide—a polymer tube—filled with growth-promoting protein that can regenerate long sections of damaged nerves ...

An international research team has secured nearly $800,000 to advance a potential regenerative therapy for MS toward clinical ...

Most human nerve cells last a lifetime without renewal. A trait echoed within the cells' components, some enduring as long as the organism itself. Most human nerve cells last a lifetime without ...
