The glial cells of the nervous system have been eclipsed in importance by neurons for decades. But glia are turning out to be central to many neurological functions, including pain perception. The ...

Researchers develop a 3D-printed, RNA-activated implant that silences the PTEN gene to promote nerve regrowth after spinal ...

From the vantage point of today ― a time when neurosurgeons regularly resect brain tissue to cure disease and rely on high-tech neuroimaging techniques to make diagnoses ― it's hard to conceive of an ...

Neurobiology profoundly influences our lives, impacting our health, thoughts, emotions, and behaviours (see How Our Neurobiology Shapes Our Daily Lives; Pang, 2023). Despite its importance, our ...

Conditions such as diabetes, heart attack and vascular diseases commonly diagnosed in people with spinal cord injuries can be traced to abnormal post-injury neuronal activity that causes abdominal fat ...

Shimmering, gelatinous comb jellies wouldn’t appear to have much to hide. But their mostly see-through bodies cloak a nervous system unlike that of any other known animal, researchers report in the ...

Cancer arises as an enemy from within. One of the body’s own cells becomes damaged or corrupted and then multiplies to create copies of its aberrant self. The ballooning army of deviant cells may ...

New research uncovers how the brain, immune system, and nervous system contribute to heart attack damage, revealing three nodes that could be targeted with new therapeutics.
