Exercise promotes neuron growth via biochemical and physical effects, aiding nerve healing and neurodegenerative disease ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...

The approach, which uses CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology, offers a unique and promising strategy that could one day treat rare but debilitating motor neuron diseases in humans. Hereditary ...

A breakthrough study sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of genes essential for learning and memory.

Motor neuron disorders have a devastating impact on the lives of ... MND, also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the nerves – motor neurons – ...

Therefore, end points will include recovery of motor functions and quality of life assessment using stroke-specific scales. “Clinically, any improvement in nerve fiber regeneration and neural ...
