To coax human nerve cells in a laboratory to thrive, there are three magic words: location, location, location. Many experiments grow human nerve cells in lab dishes. But a new study enlists some real ...

New research from Oregon Health & Science University found over 10,000 nerve fibers in the marble-sized human clitoris, the organ responsible for sexual pleasure in female bodies. Previous estimates, ...

Early signs of a nerve injury are your body’s warning to get help fast. Discover what symptoms to watch for and the minimally invasive nerve repair techniques to help you recover.

Scientists have re-created a pain pathway in the brain by growing four key clusters of human nerve cells in a dish. This laboratory model could be used to help explain certain pain syndromes, and ...

Human brain tissue has been successfully transplanted into the brains of rats using a cutting-edge experimental procedure, say researchers. They envision the achievement as a promising new frontier in ...

However, a known issue with the neurological application of magnetoelectrics is that the signals the materials produce tend to be too fast for other human nerves to pick up. To solve that, the Rice ...

One of the hardest tricks in surgery is the repair of torn nerves. Every human being has a fixed number of nerve cells at birth, and, unlike other cells, they do not multiply. Torn nerve fibres heal ...

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.

Scientists have uncovered a hidden partnership between pancreatic cancer and the nervous system. Support cells in the ...

A research team led by UC San Diego has, for the first time, shown that a wearable, non-invasive device can measure activity in human cervical nerves in clinical settings. The device records what the ...

The early cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infections saw people reporting a temporary loss of smell and taste (anosmia and dysgeusia) for about one-third of ...
