A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point ...

Cross-section of nerve fibers from the mouse optic nerve: The dark dense lines show the insulating layer, the myelin. Highlighted in red is a swollen, clogged area of an impaired nerve fiber – caused ...

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged ...

Scientists at Duke University found that satellite glial cells can deliver healthy mitochondria to injured sensory neurons, restoring energy, reducing inflammation, and significantly relieving ...

The FDA has granted breakthrough therapy designation to privosegtor for optic neuritis, a common symptom of multiple ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease characterized by nerve damage and consequent impairments in vision, ...

A hidden immune stress switch may be driving chemotherapy nerve pain and scientists have found a way to turn it off.

A: The brain sends/receives electric signals that control/sense different muscles and body functions/sensory signals. These electrical signals travel either directly from the brain to the signal ...

Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the ...

Kevin Tracey is a pioneer of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) research. Since the early 2000s, his team at The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research has been rigorously investigating VNS ...

To rapidly transmit electrical signals in the brain, the long nerve fibers are insulated by specialized cells called oligodendrocytes. These cells also respond to the electrical signals of active ...
