The received wisdom said we were built from around 200 types of cell – such as heart muscle or nerve cells. Instead the Human Cell Atlas project has revealed there are thousands of cell types ...

They set themselves the monumentally ambitious goal of cataloguing every cell type in the human body, from development to old age 1. That amounts to mapping the body’s estimated 37.2 trillion cells.

Technology is also looking to our own nervous system for inspiration on how to develop better hardware; knowing our own individual cells have a few more tricks up their sleeves could lead to new ways ...

Barbara Gisevius' research group at Professor Ralf Gold's Research Department of Neuroscience, has developed a cell model to study the interaction of the virus with nerve cells. Hepatitis E is a ...

The evidence supporting the conclusions is incomplete lacking mechanistic links to the phenotype described and detailed information on the methods used to analyze single-cell RNA sequencing data. The ...

In the Nature Communications research, the scientists replicated learning over time by studying two types of non-brain human cells in a laboratory (one from nerve tissue and one from kidney tissue ...

Scientists exploring the trade-off have discovered unique genetic features that show how human brain cells handle the stress of keeping a big brain working. The work could inspire new lines of ...

The vestibular nerve picks up a range of sensory information from the otolith organs and semicircular canals in the inner ear. The otolith organs, the saccule and utricle, are fluid-filled sacs. Each ...

Microneurography is a method that allows the researchers to listen to the nerve signalling in one nerve cell at a time. Credit: Charlotte Perhammar/Linköping University Recent research identifies 16 ...

US pharma Pacira hopes for a further expansion of the label for its nerve block Exparel covering surgical procedures throughout the body, after the FDA opted to expand its use to include shoulder ...

Here we show that the cell–cell interaction molecule, N-cadherin, regulates both adhesion and repulsion processes during Schwann cell (SC) collective migration, which is required for peripheral nerve ...

Blue Label Telecoms, which owns about 49.5% of Cell C, looks set to make an offer to take control of the company in the coming months. Blue Label Telecoms, which owns about 49.5% of Cell C following ...
