Using a new cell model, researchers can for the first time study how hepatitis E viruses affect nerve cells. Hepatitis E viruses (HEV) typically cause liver infections. They can, however, also infect ...
Hepatitis E viruses (HEV) typically cause liver infections. They can, however, also infect other organs and cause neurological disorders. Little is yet known about how this process works. A research ...
Research published in Cell Reports from the University of Alabama at Birmingham reveals that, by labeling a subset of trigeminal afferents with the genetic marker Fos-Cre and inhibiting them, ...
Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect, which underlies human movement. They used this model to show how damage to these ...
In diseases of the brain, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, the neurons fail to communicate correctly with each other. As Bonn-based researchers of the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases ...
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 ...
More than 1 million people across the United States live with multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease that affects the brain, optic nerves and spine. MS is an unpredictable disorder, with symptoms - such ...
Whether we hold a warm mug or step onto a cool floor, specialized nerve cells in the skin constantly report temperature to ...
