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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new study suggests a widely used bone hormone could help relieve chronic back pain in an unexpected way. Instead of just ...

In A Nutshell For the first time in humans, scientists decoded intended movements across all three joints of a missing leg, ...

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 ...
