With the aid of a 3D printer, researchers at Uppsala University have succeeded in creating a model that resembles human nerve tissue. The model, which can be cultured from the patient's own cells, ...

Engineers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst have developed an artificial neuron like no other. In experiments, ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

Motor neurons are nerve cells that control our muscles by sending signals from the brain and spinal cord out to the body. In diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), these cells are ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have developed a new 3D-printing method for creating realistic human ...

The brain is probably the least explored organ, much of which is due to the difficulty of studying it in situ rather than in slices under a microscope. Even growing small organoids out of neurons ...

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cell in the human brain according to the latest ...

Researches at Linköping University have created an artificial nerve cell from a single organic electrochemical transistor, while still reproducing as many as 17 neural properties. An artificial neuron ...

Researchers at the University of Calgary studying a lethal lung disease called pulmonary fibrosis have found that neurons known to help detect pain are also critical for reducing harmful lung ...
