Scientists have found specialized neurons in the brains of mice that order the animals to stop eating. Though many feeding circuits in the brain are known to play a role in monitoring food intake ...

The team discovered that the tumor specifically reprograms the neurons for its own benefit. In mice, blocking nerve function inhibited cancer growth and increased the sensitivity of tumor cells to ...

But CAR T-cell therapy usually fails against solid tumours like neuroblastoma, which occurs when developing nerve cells in children turn cancerous, typically before age 5. Such tumours often ...

Researchers have now discovered that what we call the 'dessert stomach' is rooted in the brain. The same nerve cells that make us feel full after a meal ...

Scientists in China say they have developed an optical fibre technology that could pave the way for real-time endoscopies of nerve cells in the brain, as well as faster next-gen telecommunications.

Tau is a protein that builds up and moves between nerve cells in the brains of people living with Alzheimer’s disease, causing damage. Professor Mudher is using clever genetic manipulation in fruit ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice. The ...

The nervous system is a complex network of neurons and cells that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body. A sponge-like implant in mice helped guide a ...
