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

Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...

Arteries can narrow with fatty buildup. Blood struggles to move. Oxygen drops. A heart attack can follow, and it remains the world’s top killer. Researchers at the University of California San Diego ...

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

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

The brain and vagus nerve play a key role in exacerbating tissue damage after a heart attack, but there are ways to block it.

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) plays a crucial role in the regulation of cardiovascular function, mediating rapid adjustments in heart rate and arterial blood pressure during stress, physical ...

Neurons are not known for their regenerative powers. Some neurons are very slow to repair after injury, and some are never able to heal damage. This can lead to a devastating loss of function and ...

Researchers propose that placozoans, one of the simplest kinds of animals, may contain the blueprint for the neurons of more complex creatures. By Sam Jones For hundreds of millions of years, ...

Just like a gecko that regrows a broken tail, our peripheral nervous system knows how to regenerate the branches of its cells after an injury. Unfortunately, the cells in our central nervous ...
