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, ...

There is an ever-increasing number of links that are being found between microbes in the human gut and our health. Researchers have now used a mouse model to show that intermittent fasting alters the ...

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.

Damaged nerves regenerate faster when protein clusters are broken apart, releasing mRNAs that can be used to rebuild the nerve. Scientists have found the trigger that could be used to accelerate ...

A University of Alberta researcher has found a treatment that increases the speed of nerve regeneration by three to five times, leading to much better outcomes for trauma surgery patients. We use 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 ...
