By unlocking the secrets of this "embryonic GPS," the study marks a significant advance in developmental biology and ...

Working out your muscles may help heal your nerves after injury, by encouraging those neurons to grow faster. In a new study ...

A pinched nerve in your neck can be more than just painful-it can cause tingling, numbness and weakness-plus make it ...

Scientists have generated human stem cell models which contain notochord -- a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, directing cells where to build the spine and nervous ...

The black box of the human brain is starting to open. Although animal models are instrumental in shaping our understanding of ...

Nerve pain is distinct from typical tissue pain. When you have tissue pain, like falling down or getting a cut, your nerves deliver the pain message to your brain. But when the nerves themselves ...

Robert Fledrich, neuroscientist and professor at the Institute of Anatomy at Leipzig University’s Faculty of Medicine, has ...

by focusing solely on muscle and nerve tissue. The researchers grew mouse muscle cells into long fibers that then fused to form a small sheet of mature muscle tissue about the size of a quarter.

Researchers at the NYU Pain Research Center have found a new receptor for nerve growth factor that plays an important role in ...
