WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A brief application of a polymer commonly used in medicine and cosmetics has been shown to immediately repair damaged nerve membranes in live guinea pigs with severe spinal cord ...

Scientists have successfully used frozen human cells taken from nerve tissue to restore nerve conduction in an animal model of multiple sclerosis. Scientists have successfully used frozen human cells ...

New research describes a key molecular mechanism in nerve fibers that ensures the rapid conductance of nervous system impulses. New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School ...

IN this second monograph Prof. Kato describes further numerous experiments which he and twenty collaborators at Keio University have carried out on the passage of the impulse in narcotised nerve. An ...

Most general biology courses, when discussing neuronal cell development, will highlight the importance of myelination for nerve impulse conduction. Often, Schwann cells are mentioned in these ...

Team of neurobiologists from Münster University publish their findings on the evolution of the glial sheath and rapid transmission of signals in neurons An animal’s brain consists of two different ...

Bupivacaine HCl 2.5mg/mL, 5mg/mL; epinephrine 1:200000; soln for inj. Bupivacaine blocks the generation and the conduction of nerve impulses, presumably by increasing the threshold for electrical ...
