Until now, it has been difficult to maintain retinal ganglion cells deep inside organoids over extended periods. The supply ...

A discovery that may improve treatment options for patients with neurodegenerative diseases. A discovery that may improve treatment options for patients with neurodegenerative diseases has been made ...

Human brains (and the brains of other vertebrates) are able to process information faster because of myelin, a fatty substance that forms a protective sheath over the axons of our nerve cells and ...

Injuries to the nerves can blind or paralyze because adult nerve cells don’t regenerate their connections. Now, a team of UConn School of Medicine researchers report in Development that at least a ...

Researchers have solved an important puzzle in neurobiology: the wiring and the movement of nerve cells are interwoven, but separately controlled. The study focuses on neuronal growth and migration: ...

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago found promising results in their search for a treatment to stop nerve cell degeneration that happens in some types of disorders, such as hereditary ...

Find out how scientists are maximizing retinal organoid effectiveness to sustain critical retinal ganglion cells.

It’s a bit like seeing a world in a grain of sand. Except the view, in this case, is the exquisite detail inside a bit of human brain about half the size of a grain of rice. Held in that minuscule ...
