In an important step toward visual prostheses, biocompatible electrodes can convert infrared light into nerve impulses, as ...

Two years after transforming human fat cells into what appeared to be nerve cells, a group led by Duke University Medical Center researchers has gone one step further by demonstrating that these new ...

One of the risks of weight lifting is a pinched nerve, which can result in pain, tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness.

Researchers have demonstrated that living human nerve cells can be engineered into a network that could one day be used for transplants to repair damaged to the nervous system. They obtained human ...

The ComSLI method uses simple tools to generate detailed images of brain nerve fibers and damage in neurological diseases, ...

With the aid of a 3D printer, researchers at Uppsala University have succeeded in creating a model that resembles human nerve tissue. The model, which can be cultured from the patient’s own cells, ...

Researchers at the University of Leipzig Medical Center report that Schwann cells receive crucial support with nerve repair from the fat tissue that surrounds nerves in the body. Using genetically ...

Two tiny fossils, each smaller than an aspirin pill, contain fossilized nerve tissue from 508 million years ago. The bug-like Cambrian creatures could help scientists piece together the evolutionary ...

The tissue response of nerves to electrodes include trauma to axons as well as the nature and extent of the encapsulation surrounding the implant. Traumatized axons may not conduct propagating actions ...
