Using a new cell model, researchers can for the first time study how hepatitis E viruses affect nerve cells. Hepatitis E viruses (HEV) typically cause liver infections. They can, however, also infect ...

A small molecule known as 10H-phenothiazine reduced the loss of motor neurons, the nerve cells that are lost in SMA, in ...

Hepatitis E viruses (HEV) typically cause liver infections. They can, however, also infect other organs and cause neurological disorders. Little is yet known about how this process works. A research ...

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

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.

Aperture Therapeutics is advancing APRTX-003, an RNA-based antisense therapy targeting MMP9, as a potential ALS treatment.

The image shows motor neurons that have been generated from human iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cells) and integrated into a 3D-printed bioscaffold. The cells (shown in red) grow inside the ...
