In nerve regeneration, the pace of recovery can often be a race against time, with critical windows dictating successful outcomes. Recent research by Gobrecht et al. has unveiled a promising avenue ...

Damaged nerve fibers (axons) in the peripheral nervous system can regenerate themselves, but complete functional recovery often doesn’t occur. That’s because the Schwann cells responsible for ...

A complex network of nerve fibers and synapses in the brain is responsible for transmission of information. When a nerve cell is stimulated, it generates signals in the form of electrochemical ...

Axons that are regularly stimulated do not pass on increases in performance to their neighbors, study on mice reveals. A complex network of nerve fibers and synapses in the brain is responsible for ...

Traumatic injury to the brain, spinal cord and optic nerve in the central nervous system (CNS) are the leading cause of disability and the second leading cause of death worldwide. CNS injuries often ...

In mid-2021, after a decade of R&D, Neuralace Medical earned FDA clearance for its Axon Therapy, a noninvasive treatment option for chronic pain caused by nerve damage. The road to its next regulatory ...

Injuries to the nerves can blind or paralyze because adult nerve cells don’t regenerate their connections. Now, a team of UConn School of Medicine researchers report in Development that at least a ...
