Damage to the optic nerve can lead to irreversible blindness. A newly investigated regeneration factor could change that, UConn researchers report in the May 2024 issue of Experimental Neurology.

Nerve damage can be an unfortunate side effect from an accident, illness or even certain treatments, like chemotherapy. Fortunately, the peripheral nervous system can heal itself to a certain extent, ...

Nature has again proven effective in treating health conditions, this time nerve injury. According to a new study, a compound found in the blessed thistle plant accelerates the regeneration of damaged ...

Nerve damage affects millions of people worldwide, creating symptoms ranging from mild tingling to severe pain and loss of function. While conventional treatments often focus on managing symptoms, ...

Research reported December 11 in the journal Advanced Materials describes a potentially promising strategy for encouraging the regeneration of damaged central nervous system cells known as neurons.

Living with nerve pain can be an overwhelming experience, affecting your daily activities and overall quality of life. Many people struggle with symptoms such as tingling, numbness, and discomfort ...

Nerve damage affects millions of people. The symptoms can range from mild pins and needles, to numbness, to a partial loss of mobility. The cures are perhaps worse than the condition. Invasive ...

The ability to regenerate nerve cells in the body could reduce the effects of trauma and disease in a dramatic way. In two presentations at the NSTI Nanotech 2007 Conference, researchers describe the ...

One of the main problems preventing optimal regeneration following peripheral nerve injuries is that axons within severed nerves have difficulty regenerating and reaching their target. This may be ...

University of South Carolina scientists are exploring ways to make nerve regeneration happen faster and more successfully. A new study published in Current Biology identifies the biological triggers ...
