Scientists have successfully grown over 400 different types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab—a groundbreaking step toward replicating the complexity of the human brain.

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand ...

Researchers have created over 400 distinct types of human nerve cells in vitro, vastly expanding the diversity available for ...

A team has made a major breakthrough in the field of three-dimensional (3D) imaging of large-scale biological tissues. They ...

This important study presents a new method for longitudinally tracking cells in two-photon imaging data that addresses the specific challenges of imaging neurons in the developing cortex. It provides ...

Primary cultures were made from adult mouse spinal ganglia for depicting an ultrastructural description of rabies virus (RABV) infection in adult mouse sensory neuron cultures; they were infected with ...

Every soft caress of wind, searing burn and seismic rumble is detected by our skin’s tangle of touch sensors. David Ginty has spent his career cataloging the neurons beneath everyday sensations.

Researchers at the Carney Institute for Brain Science are taking creative approaches with a super-resolution microscope to advance their neuroscience investigations in different directions.

Electron microscope image of neurons in the cerebellum. This slice through the cells in the cerebellum shows a dendritic branch of a Purkinje cell and its side arms (yellow) receiving several ...

Similar experiments to (A) and (B) showing an SCG neuron responding to the TRPA1 agonist AITC (left in E and top in F) and a novel cold‐sensitive SCG neuron that responds to cold but does not express ...

From the perspective of cryobiology, we attempted to understand how the challenge of cryopreservation evolves between cell phenotypes along an hiPSC-to-sensory neuron differentiation trajectory. Cells ...

Scientists have for the first time established a sensory neuron model able to mass-reproduce two key sensory neuron types involved in pain sensation, enabling the easy generation of large numbers ...
