Many people are familiar with oncogenes - genes long known to be involved in cancers in humans, such as the gene "Src." What's less widely understood is that oncogenes didn't evolve just to cause ...

Glia constitute roughly half of the cells of the central nervous system (CNS) butwere long-considered to be static bystanders to its formation and function. Here we provide an overview of how the ...

The interplay between the nervous and stomatognathic systems, both anatomically proximate and functionally intertwined, holds profound implications for health. Advances in brain science reveal ...

For over half a billion years, evolution has sculpted the nervous systems of bilaterian animals, equipping them with remarkable capabilities to process information, coordinate movements, and respond ...

The first stem cell culture method that produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system has been developed by a team of engineers and biologists. The first stem cell ...

In order for your body to work properly, your nervous system needs to be working properly. Your nervous system is responsible for helping your brain communicate with your body and helping your body ...

Your sympathetic nervous system is one of the branches of your autonomic nervous system. It controls functions under unconscious control related to “fight or flight.” Your nervous system plays a ...

Your autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the part of your central nervous system (CNS) that controls unconscious activities like breathing and digestion. This system is always working, whether or not ...

A recent study published in Cell Reports highlights a new drug that could help to repair nervous system damage caused by ischemic strokes in animal models. The breakthrough preclinical study was ...
