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 ...
Researchers have discovered that an FDA-approved drug acts on support cells in the central nervous system to encourage sensory neurons to regrow after injury. A spinal cord injury damages the lines of ...
Cell adhesion molecules (CAMS), i.e., laminin-1 or N-cadhedrin Adhesion and attractant Allow cells to grow along the surfaces of other cells (such as using pioneering axons for subsequent axons) ...
Scientists report that gamma frequency light and sound stimulation preserves myelination in mouse models and reveal molecular mechanisms that may underlie the benefit. Early-stage trials in ...
Comprehensive mapping of wing sensory neurons in Drosophila reveals that some proprioceptors make direct connections onto flight steering motor neurons, enabling rapid feedback control during flight.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cognito Therapeutics, announced today that its proprietary gamma sensory stimulation at 40Hz over a 6-month period reduced white matter atrophy in the brain for ...
Head and neck cancer (HNC) represents a significant global health challenge, characterized by aggressive local invasion, frequent recurrence, and poor survival rates. Beyond its physical burden, HNC ...
The researchers tested whether delaying treatment with cnicin still promoted axon regeneration. They found that delaying treatment by five days meant that motor and sensory recovery was slower, but ...
image: Sensory neurons regrow more after injury when treated with the drug fenofibrate (lower panel) than when given a placebo (top panel; arrows indicate site of injury). Researchers at Washington ...
