The experimental therapy M102 slowed disease progression in preclinical experiments done in mouse and cell models of ALS, a ...

Researchers at Tulane University, with a team of colleagues from eight other universities, have discovered a new nerve cell ...

Chemotherapy activates a stress sensor in immune cells, triggering inflammation and nerve damage, which may help explain why ...

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cell in the human brain according to the latest ...

Nerve damage can be an unfortunate side effect from an accident, illness or even certain treatments, like chemotherapy. Fortunately, the peripheral nervous system can heal itself to a certain extent, ...
