When surgeons dissect tissue to remove a tumor or make a repair, they must work cautiously, relying on electrophysical ...

UNMH researchers are testing a new drug that makes nerves glow. Dr. Ryan Orosco at UNM Hospital helped co-author the research into the drug. It is injected into the patient’s bloodstream before ...

New fluorescent drug lights up nerve tissue under special imaging equipment, giving surgeons a visual edge during procedure.

Supporting nerve tissue repair through nutrition represents a powerful complementary approach to conventional treatments. By providing the specific building blocks needed for regeneration, ...

These layers of connective tissue are presumed to have developed in response to mechanical irritation between the cuff and the local tissues. It appears that the very small blood vessels are ...

Georgia Tech/Emory researchers have integrated dopamine, a type of neurotransmitter, into a polymer to stimulate nerve tissues to send out new connections. The discovery, published in PNAS, is the ...

SCIENTISTS AT UB and collaborators at other institutions working on substrates for nerve-tissue regeneration have developed new surface chemistry to create the first modified Teflon surface that ...

This long nerve makes up 3/4 of the nerve tissue in your parasympathetic nervous system. In fact, the vagus nerve is the longest of any of the 12 cranial nerves. What Does the Vagus Nerve Do?

Georgia Tech/Emory researchers have integrated dopamine, a type of neurotransmitter, into a polymer to stimulate nerve tissues to send out new connections. The discovery, published in PNAS, is the ...

Any longer, and the regrowing nerve essentially misses its target, sometimes instead forming into a painful nerve-tissue ball known as a neuroma. Therefore, ...

Two tiny fossils, each smaller than an aspirin pill, contain fossilized nerve tissue from 508 million years ago. The bug-like Cambrian creatures could help scientists piece together the ...
