The first healthy volunteers have been dosed in an early clinical trial testing NRG5051, a disease-modifying therapy for ALS and Parkinson's.

Microneurography is a method that allows the researchers to listen to the nerve signalling in one nerve cell at a time. No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by ...

Scientists have recreated a pathway that senses pain, using clusters of human nerve cells grown in a dish. Pain pathway in a dish could aid search for new analgesic drugs Scientists have re-created a ...

Contrary to previous assumptions, nerve cells in the human neocortex are wired differently than in mice. Those are the findings of a new study conducted by Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and ...

Stressed brain cells can survive longer by slowing sugar use, revealing a short-term protective response that later turns ...
