Researches at Linköping University have created an artificial nerve cell from a single organic electrochemical transistor, while still reproducing as many as 17 neural properties. An artificial neuron ...

Researchers have discovered a specific group of nerve cells in the hypothalamus of the brain that influences eating behavior and weight gain. These nerve cells are controlled by the hormone leptin, ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells. “Mimicking the behaviour of biological neurons ...

No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by scientists in a new study on the human sense of touch. Comparisons between humans, mice and macaques show both similarities and ...

A mutation in the TDP-43 protein reduces the viability of motor neurons without triggering protein clumps, researchers found.

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged nerve cells falter because their energy factories known as mitochondria don't ...

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 ...
