In jellyfish and sea anemones, neurons accumulate DNA damage while animals are awake and repair that damage during sleep.

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience provides evidence that aging and injury lead to the buildup of senescent neurons—commonly referred to as “zombie” cells—in the peripheral nervous system.

Following an injury, such as a traumatic crush injury, the peripheral nervous system is itself often able to effectively regenerate. This capacity of regeneration is mainly attributable to the Schwann ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye-called the ...

Astrocytes are integral constituents of the central nervous system, serving roles that extend far beyond mere structural support. These specialised glial cells are crucial for maintaining homeostasis, ...

Pain-sensing neurons in the gut kindle inflammatory immune responses that cause allergies and asthma, according to a new ...

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...
