Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal organs, are ...

A study led by Cambridge researchers has shed light on how neural stem cell grafts could help restore myelin in the central ...

The neuron theory There was, however, a tissue that seemed to belie cell theory — nervous tissue. Because of its softness and fragility, it was difficult to handle and susceptible to deterioration.

Scientists at the University of Western Australia and the Perron Institute for Neurological and Translational Science have ...

An iPSC-based ALS-on-a-chip model that mimics disease progression and reveals altered glutamate signaling in motor neurons ...

Cedars-Sinai has created a lifelike model of the mysterious and fatal disease that could help identify a cause of the illness ...

You feel your body slowly shutting down—but your mind remains sharp, painfully aware of what’s happening. This is the everyday reality of people living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in Kenya.

D bioprinted nerve tissues offer new hope for ALS drug testing. Uppsala team creates motor neuron organoids from patient cells.

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a devastating condition that causes progressive muscle weakness by damaging the motor neurones, the nerve cells that connect the brain to muscles.
