An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen, and the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, has shown that nerve ...

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cell in the human brain according to the latest ...

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

Obesity is a global health problem that affects many people. In recent years, very promising anti-obesity drugs have been developed. Despite these successes, there are patients who do not respond to ...

AMES, Iowa – Researchers looking for ways to regenerate nerves can have a hard time obtaining key tools of their trade. Schwann cells are an example. They form sheaths around axons, the tail-like ...

After peripheral nerve trauma, insufficient clearance of phagocytic debris significantly hinders nerve regeneration. Without sufficient myelin debris clearance, Schwann cells (SCs) undergo increased ...

Perineural invasion (PNI) is the invasion of cancer cells into nerves. Although PNI is a risk factor for cancer recurrence and metastasis, the lack of in vitro experimental models representing natural ...

No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by scientists in a new study on the human sense of touch. Comparisons between humans, mice and macaques show both similarities and ...
