Marijuana-like endocannabinoids produced by your own body—how do they travel through the brain? It turns out that these fatty ...

For example, during the development of PNS myelinated nerve fibers, a molecule called gliomedin is secreted from myelinating Schwann cells then incorporated into the extracellular matrix ...

Scientists are getting into the epidermis to explore how skin and nerve cells interact. “The skin is basically the window to the outside,” said Kathryn Albers, a neuroscientist at the University of ...

Scientists in China say they have developed an optical fibre technology that could pave the way for real-time endoscopies of nerve cells in the ... high-speed optical communication, quantum ...

nerve growth factor receptors bind nerve growth factor, and so on. In fact, there are hundreds of receptor types found in cells, and varying cell types have different populations of receptors.

The long-term survival of a patient with neuroblastoma suggests the personalized cancer treatment may work for solid tumors, not just blood cancers.

"The result underscores that both types of nerve cells have functional relevance for tumor growth," explains Vera Thiel. "Complete blockade of the communication between nerves and tumor in ...

A recent study in an animal model provides direct evidence for the role of the vagus nerve in gut microbiome-brain communication, addressing a critical gap in the field. While the vagus nerve has ...
