Millions of neurons branch throughout our bodies, keeping them in close communication with our brains. This peripheral ...

When do peripheral nerves develop? Researchers used "mosaic barcodes" to prove that neural crest cells commit to their ...

Scientists have built tiny living robots from frog embryo cells that spontaneously grow their own functional nervous systems, ...

Glioma is a tumor of the central nervous system that originates from glial cells, which support neurons in the brain. In the ...

A new study demonstrated that introducing neurons into Xenopus-derived biobots led to the self-organization of active neural ...

A three-dimensional experimental system has been developed to study the response to drugs in low-grade glioma, a tumor of the central nervous system that often occurs in children.

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labeling stem cells with a genetic 'barcode', they have ...

Scientists create living robots with nervous systems, revealing how neurons grow, connect and shape movement in a new biological model.

Cancer arises as an enemy from within. One of the body’s own cells becomes damaged or corrupted and then multiplies to create copies of its aberrant self. The ballooning army of deviant cells may ...

The cells that line the inside of the gut may play a key role in triggering inflammation that drives MS, a study found.
