A tiny roundworm has helped University of Queensland scientists uncover minuscule structures in skin tissue that may protect ...

A foray into plant biology led one researcher to discover that a natural molecule can repair axons, the thread-like projections that carry electrical signals between cells. Axonal damage is the major ...

Researchers have taken another step toward identifying a biomarker for diffuse axonal injury (DAI) in patients with a concussion. They used immunohistochemistry (IHC) to highlight a cleaved protein ...

From axolotls to zebrafish, stem cells possess remarkable regenerative abilities, enabling them to restore lost limbs and repair damaged organs. These extraordinary capabilities, however, are not ...

Axon regeneration and central nervous system repair represent critical frontiers in neuroscience research, offering promise for restoring communication and function after injury. Following trauma, ...

Two independent studies have linked neuronal injury, inside or outside the brain, to cancer progression and offer new biomarkers and strategies for prevention. While cerebral cancer cells damage axons ...
