Scientists have developed a computer-based model that may explain how nerve cells become damaged in ALS, and how best to time ...

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 ...

Neuropathic pain, often referred to as nerve pain, can arise from a range of conditions such as diabetic neuropathy, nerve ...

The image shows motor neurons that have been generated from human iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cells) and integrated into a 3D-printed bioscaffold. The cells (shown in red) grow inside the ...

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.

Spinal muscular atrophy affects the development of the nervous system more profoundly than was previously thought, a new ...

A newly identified mechanism lends credence to the idea that MS may be treatable by targeting EBV-infected B-cells, a study found.

Popular belief holds that our senses gather information only about the external world, but many of our sensory systems also monitor our internal environment, enabling the body to regulate its own ...

LEUVEN October 31st - Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by a progressive loss of nerve cells leading to a decline in memory and cognition. A team of researchers at KU Leuven and VIB explored the ...

Using microelectrodes, scientists could show that cells in the retina play different roles. The produce different signals, which is important for the processing of visual information. These ...
