Using a new cell model, researchers can for the first time study how hepatitis E viruses affect nerve cells. Hepatitis E viruses (HEV) typically cause liver infections. They can, however, also infect ...

A mutation in the TDP-43 protein reduces the viability of motor neurons without triggering protein clumps, researchers found.

Mutations that cause spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) may lead to abnormalities in the development of cells in the spinal cord, a study found.

Hepatitis E viruses (HEV) typically cause liver infections. They can, however, also infect other organs and cause neurological disorders. Little is yet known about how this process works. A research ...

Fat-based vesicles help deliver GM1 to the brain, improving movement and extending survival in mouse models of ALS, a study finds.

Popular belief holds that our senses gather information only about the external world, but many of our sensory systems also monitor our internal environment, enabling the body to regulate its own ...

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, ...

LEUVEN October 31st - Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by a progressive loss of nerve cells leading to a decline in memory and cognition. A team of researchers at KU Leuven and VIB explored the ...
