QRL-101 is designed to open Kv7.2/7.3 ion channels, which work as gates for potassium in nerve cells and help control their ...

Until now, skin cells have been viewed as barriers that can respond to electric stimuli. Turns out, they also generate ...

Scientists have developed a breakthrough technique to directly convert skin cells into neurons, bypassing the need for stem ...

To uncover what drives sexual behavior in animals, researchers studied the brain activity of male mice throughout the series ...

SMA is an inherited condition that affects specific motor neurons, namely the nerve cells in the spinal cord that control the voluntary movement of our muscles.Over time, SMA eventually leads to ...

A new study led by University of Calgary professor Dr. Tuan Trang, PhD, may help to explain why there is an ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost ...

Converting one type of cell to another — for example, a skin cell to a neuron — can be done through a process that requires the skin cell to be induced into a “pluripotent” stem cell, then ...

Washington DC: Researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron, eliminating the need to generate induced pluripotent stem cells. Such neurons could be used to treat ...
