Light has an increasing number of applications in biology and medicine—it can be used to stimulate cell growth, manipulate ...

Conducted by researchers from Stanford University, the study used genetically engineered mouse models to map how pain signals ...

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a molecular switch in neurons that limits the ...

Axons are the long fibers that carry signals between nerve cells, or neurons, in both central and peripheral nervous systems.

Is chronic pain a separate brain function? A new study maps the neurological loop between the spinal cord and cortex that drives persistent pain.

When AHR is turned off, neurons shift priorities. They increase protein production and activate pathways that support axon growth. The team also found that this regenerative response depends on ...

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

Can we regrow damaged nerves? A new study identifies the AHR protein as the switch that limits axon regeneration.

Researchers have established a direct experimental link between inflammatory signals in the intestinal lining and the kind of ...

A cross section of a mouse brain showing neurons involved in chronic pain (yellow) and acute pain (red) that project into the ...

Researchers have developed a noninvasive method to create light anywhere in the body. Their technique, which uses ultrasound waves to activate light-emitting nanoparticles, could be used to manipulate ...

New York City-based Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai researchers have identified a “molecular switch” that may be capable of helping improve recovery after peripheral nerve or spinal cord ...
