Researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute and Tufts University have engineered frog-cell constructs that autonomously assemble their own nervous systems and dramatically shift gene expression, producing ...

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 ...

Researchers publish the first complete fruit fly central nervous system connectome, proving motor control is distributed in ...

Within the neurovascular unit, neurons, glial cells, brain microvascular endothelial cells, and pericytes all harbor ...

Neurons from grafted stem cells contain intrinsic codes for navigating and forming connections, which may improve cell therapy for a brain short-circuited by stroke. Some parts of our bodies bounce ...

A JCI study found that exposure to a Western diet in mice and to palmitic acid in murine and ex vivo human enteric nervous ...
