Researchers discovered a feedback loop between nerve cells, the immune system and the heart. They think it shows promise as a ...

In regenerative medicine, macrophages and stem cells play pivotal roles in repairing central nervous system (CNS) injuries. These cells are instrumental due ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

Heart attacks are often thought of as a plumbing issue, the result of a blockage preventing blood from flowing through one of ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

A multidisciplinary team of University of Cincinnati Cancer Center researchers has received a $40,000 Ride Cincinnati grant to study a delayed release preparation, or wafer, of an immunostimulatory ...

Using an aging clock, researchers from the University of Cologne have used the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to demonstrate that nerve cells age differently. They identified both the causes of ...

Astrocytes are integral constituents of the central nervous system, serving roles that extend far beyond mere structural support. These specialised glial cells are crucial for maintaining homeostasis, ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...
