Recently, Sahoo and his RU-N research team made a breakthrough, using a peptide to help nerve cells in both the peripheral and central nervous systems regenerate. They published their findings in ...

Interestingly, the researchers also discovered that oligodendrocytes, brain cells that help insulate nerve fibers, were less affected by tau. This suggests that these cells might help to protect the ...

Mar. 24, 2025 — Scientists used light to control how a starfish egg cell jiggles and moves during its earliest stage of development. Their optical system could guide the design of synthetic ...

a brain disorder caused by damage to nerve cells in the brain. Robert Love, a neuroscientist who specializes in helping people with Alzheimer's disease, discussed the topic in a recent video ...

When interleukin-12 is added to the cell culture, it leads to a significant reduction in nerve fibers (pink) and oligodendrocytes, and thus to a decline in myelin (white).
