Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production ...
That’s because the Schwann cells responsible for regeneration stop providing support after about three months. If the restoration of nerve function, called reinnervation, hasn’t happened in that time, ...
Scientists have long known that inherited neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or motor neuron ...
Researchers have identified a mechanism which can explain aspects of neurodegeneration which have baffled scientists for ...
To rapidly transmit electrical signals in the brain, the long nerve fibers are insulated by specialized cells called oligodendrocytes. These cells also respond to the electrical signals of active ...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder that results in incurable disabilities. Now, groundbreaking research conducted by Leipzig University and the Max Planck Institute has posed a new ...
Traumatic injury to the brain, spinal cord and optic nerve in the central nervous system (CNS) are the leading cause of disability and the second leading cause of death worldwide. CNS injuries often ...
