Northwestern University scientists have developed remarkably long, precisely patterned molecular threads that could open new ...

Researchers use a state-of-the-art technique to build 3D scaffolds that may help neurons repair and re-connect after spinal injury. Researchers have used a state-of-the-art technique to build more ...

What if cells that form scars after a spinal cord injury could become part of the repair process? Researchers have developed ...

Researchers at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and the School of Advanced Computing have built artificial neurons that physically replicate the electrochemical behavior of real brain cells. The ...

Parkinson’s disease has long resisted the sort of precision attack that has transformed other areas of medicine, largely because its central culprit—a protein called alpha-synuclein—sits behind a for ...

Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign The study is part of a larger NSF funded project called Mind in Vitro, which explores how neurons interact with ...

Standard neural probes to record brain function are eventually seen as foreign and are degraded by attacks from the immune system. Now, researchers funded by the National Institute of Biomedical ...

Mass General Brigham researchers found that sensory neurons retain a 'memory' of allergens that may help explain why allergies develop over time.

Across the world, several million people every year suffer from spinal cord injury. These types of injuries break the communication links between the brain and body, reducing movement and sensation, ...

What if cells that form scars after a spinal cord injury could become part of the repair process? Researchers have developed a genetic system that converts certain scar-forming cells into neurons, ...
