Reducing RAD23A levels helped nerve cells better handle toxic TDP-43 protein clumps, improving survival and function in an ...

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 molecular sequence of ...

Scientists have developed a computer-based model that may explain how nerve cells become damaged in ALS, and how best to time ...

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 ...

Nerve cells can be grown from stem cells in Petri dishes, enabling scientists to research diseases. Previously, it was only possible to create a few dozen different types of nerve cell. Using a new ...

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 ...

The image shows motor neurons that have been generated from human iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cells) and integrated into a 3D-printed bioscaffold. The cells (shown in red) grow inside the ...

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 ...

Spinal muscular atrophy affects the development of the nervous system more profoundly than was previously thought, a new ...
