Most human nerve cells last a lifetime without renewal. A trait echoed within the cells' components, some enduring as long as the organism itself. Most human nerve cells last a lifetime without ...

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 ...

An artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve ...

How a brain's anatomical structure relates to its function is one of the most important questions in neuroscience. It ...

Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous system. They help support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the nervous ...

A rat study has found that aerobic exercise may reshape nerves that control the heart. However, the impact was not the same ...

Researchers at Linköping University have built artificial neurons from conductive plastics that replicate up to 17 biological ...

The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is critical for speech as it provides nerve function to muscles in the larynx, or voice box. People have two RLNs, one on each side of the neck. Instead of ...

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those ...

The Institute’s president and molecular biologist is captivated by solving the mysteries behind the aging process and the extended lifespan of humans. Hetzer is fascinated by the biological puzzles ...
