Scientists at Duke University School of Medicine may have found a new way to tackle chronic nerve pain: by fixing the energy ...

Silent cells deep in your spinal cord may hold a surprising key to healing after devastating injuries and brain disease. A ...

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged ...

Scientists at Duke University found that satellite glial cells can deliver healthy mitochondria to injured sensory neurons, restoring energy, reducing inflammation, and significantly relieving ...

A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point ...

Scientists disclose how mitochondria control tissue rejuvenation and synaptic plasticity in the adult mouse brain. Nerve cells (neurons) are amongst the most complex cell types in our body. They ...

How well our brain functions depends heavily on the performance of our nerve cells. That is why they are regularly checked for their proper function -- defective cell components are marked, disposed ...

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged nerve cells falter because ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease characterized by nerve damage and consequent impairments in vision, ...

Transferring mitochondria, or the glial cells that produce them, to mice with nerve damage mitigated pain, suggesting a ...

When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the ...

The picture shows neurons (magenta) born in the adult mouse hippocampus. Nuclei are stained cyan. The extending dendrites are important sites where mechanisms of plasticity and competition for ...
