Using a new cell model, researchers can for the first time study how hepatitis E viruses affect nerve cells. Hepatitis E viruses (HEV) typically cause liver infections. They can, however, also infect ...

A small molecule known as 10H-phenothiazine reduced the loss of motor neurons, the nerve cells that are lost in SMA, in ...

Hepatitis E viruses (HEV) typically cause liver infections. They can, however, also infect other organs and cause neurological disorders. Little is yet known about how this process works. A research ...

Aperture Therapeutics is advancing APRTX-003, an RNA-based antisense therapy targeting MMP9, as a potential ALS treatment.

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged ...

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.

With the aid of a 3D printer, researchers at Uppsala University have succeeded in creating a model that resembles human nerve tissue. The model, which can be cultured from the patient's own cells, ...

A hidden immune stress switch may be driving chemotherapy nerve pain and scientists have found a way to turn it off.

Researchers developed two computational tools to decode how cells communicate in tissues. sCCIgen creates realistic virtual ...
