Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital created a single-cell atlas of a key class of spinal neurons involved in ...

In a study published in Cell, a research team led by Prof. Li Hanjie from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed the presence of ...

Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal organs, are capable of regenerating after injury. This is why injuries to the central ...

Your brain gets all the glory while your other nervous system, the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) toils away in thankless obscurity. What’s the PNS? Oh, merely the neurons that live outside of your ...

(a) The various types of neurons in the spinal cord are distributed according to their anatomical locations. (b) The rostral–caudal (RC) axis of the spinal cord is established by gradients of RA, FGF8 ...

The typical job of the proteasome, the garbage disposal of the cell, is to grind down proteins into smaller bits and recycle some of those bits and parts. That's still the case, for the most part, but ...

Research headed by teams at the University of Rochester Center for Translational Medicine and the University of Copenhagen describes for the first time how a spreading wave of disruption and the flow ...

Salk researchers report they have discovered a protein called Mitf that mediates the repair function in the peripheral nervous systems of mice. The protein Mitf helps turn on the repair function of ...
