Researchers have developed a method to grow and maintain olfactory stem cells. The work is a launch pad for developing stem cell transplantation therapies or pharmacologic activation of a patient's ...

New research from OHSU looked at human tissue to try to understand how many nerve fibers are contained in the clitoris. It seems to be the first time that this has ever been studied (a previous ...

The image shows motor neurons that have been generated from human iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cells) and integrated into a 3D-printed bioscaffold. The cells (shown in red) grow inside the ...

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, ...

USING a technique of preparation similar to the one used for the analysis of the ultra-structure of the outer segment of retinal rods 1, it was possible to isolate a characteristic structure from the ...

The sural nerve, positioned beneath the skin’s surface in the back of your lower leg, plays a critical role in your body’s sensory network. As a component of the peripheral nervous system, this nerve ...

Nerve tissue engineering is an application of tissue engineering in peripheral nerve regeneration, and tissue-engineered nerve grafts, like other tissue-engineered constructs, are typically composed ...

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most dangerous and difficult cancers to treat. Doctors often struggle to detect it early because the disease usually causes few symptoms in the beginning. By the time ...

When someone has suffered a major nerve injury, there are two common treatments: performing a nerve graft, or utilizing a conduit to guide the regrowth of the injured nerve. While both approaches have ...

Your groin area is the region between your lower abdomen and your upper thighs. A pinched nerve in the groin happens when tissues — like muscles, bones, or tendons — in your groin compress a nerve.

BOSTON (March 28, 2019, 11:00 a.m. ET)--A team of researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine developed a method to grow and maintain olfactory stem cells in culture, which can then be used to ...
