Transferring mitochondria, or the glial cells that produce them, to mice with nerve damage mitigated pain, suggesting a ...

Many people with multiple sclerosis struggle with balance and coordination, and this study uncovers a hidden reason why.

MIT scientists find that motor neuron growth increased significantly over 5 days in response to biochemical (left) and mechanical (right) signals related to exercise. The green ball represents cluster ...

A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point ...

NEW YORK, NY (Feb. 19, 2025)--Researchers have discovered that stomach cancers make electrical connections with nearby sensory nerves and use these malignant circuits to stimulate the cancer’s growth ...

There's no doubt that exercise does a body good. Regular activity not only strengthens muscles but can bolster our bones, blood vessels, and immune system. Now, MIT engineers have found that exercise ...

Researchers have now taken a step toward that vision of molecular systems that repair cells inside the human body. Molecular repair built from a patient’s own cells will eventually ferret out cancer, ...

We can replace joints, lenses, even organs—but not the brain. As neuroscience unravels the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, ...

Chemotherapy has long forced patients to choose between fighting their cancer and living with nerve pain that can linger for years after treatment ends. Now a wave of basic science and early clinical ...

Simple resistance training may help counteract age-related nerve deterioration that puts seniors at risk of injuries from falls and other accidents, according to cross-institutional research led by ...
