Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often debilitating autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). This disease causes the immune system to mistakenly attack the protective ...

Neuroscientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have determined how a brain cell surface molecule shapes the way certain neurons behave. The research, published October 2 in Nature, reveals how a ...

In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...

New research identifies a specific neural pathway (Pdyn+ neurons) that carries stress signals from the brain to the skin, triggering eczema flares by activating eosinophils.

When humans and other animals are in a calm state, they tend to breathe slower, and their heartbeat also slows down. Contrarily, when they are exercising or under psychological stress, both their ...

A sequence of stress signals among specialized clean-up cells in the brain could at last reveal why some immune responses can cause significant nerve degeneration that results in the loss of memory, ...

Researchers at Tulane University, with a team of colleagues from eight other universities, have discovered a new nerve cell signaling mechanism that could transform our understanding of pain and lead ...

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMS), i.e., laminin-1 or N-cadhedrin Adhesion and attractant Allow cells to grow along the surfaces of other cells (such as using pioneering axons for subsequent axons) ...

Quick-acting targeted therapies with minimal side effects are an urgent need for the treatment of anxiety-related disorders. While delta opioid receptor (DOP) agonists have shown 'anxiolytic' or ...
