A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the ...

Researchers from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences have developed a novel implant that delivers tiny growth-promoting particles directly to injured nerve cells, helping them to regrow ...

New research offers clues about the biology of cells in the spinal cord that die off in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other neurodegenerative diseases. A team of researchers supported by the ...

Humans and other animal species can experience many types of pain throughout the course of their lives, varying in intensity, unpleasantness and origin. Several past neuroscience studies have explored ...

Scientists at Northwestern University have built what they call the most advanced human spinal ...

This article is part of a broad series on recent advances in the science and medicine of longevity and aging. The series covers a range of topics, including musculoskeletal health. Expect more ...

Researchers have now taken a step toward that vision of molecular systems that repair cells inside the human body. Molecular repair built from a patient’s own cells will eventually ferret out cancer, ...
