Researchers have discovered that an FDA-approved drug acts on support cells in the central nervous system to encourage sensory neurons to regrow after injury. A spinal cord injury damages the lines of ...

In jellyfish and sea anemones, neurons accumulate DNA damage while animals are awake and repair that damage during sleep.

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience provides evidence that aging and injury lead to the buildup of senescent neurons—commonly referred to as “zombie” cells—in the peripheral nervous system.

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Following an injury, such as a traumatic crush injury, the peripheral nervous system is itself often able to effectively regenerate. This capacity of regeneration is mainly attributable to the Schwann ...

Silent cells deep in your spinal cord may hold a surprising key to healing after devastating injuries and brain disease. A ...

Astrocytes are integral constituents of the central nervous system, serving roles that extend far beyond mere structural support. These specialised glial cells are crucial for maintaining homeostasis, ...

A new study from the University of Haifa suggests that disorders as different as Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, and autism may ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye-called the ...

Pain-sensing neurons in the gut kindle inflammatory immune responses that cause allergies and asthma, according to a new ...
