The first node sits in the peripheral nervous system. Sensory neurons in the vagus nerve detect damage in the heart and send signals upward. The researchers focused on a subset of vagal sensory ...

Diabetes affects millions worldwide, causing both nerve and metabolic complications. A recent study suggests that diabetic nerve damage may also lead to impaired bone health. Using a mouse model of ...

When pain signals are passed along the nervous system, proteins called calcium channels play a key role. Researchers have now pinpointed the exact location of a specific calcium channel fine-tuning ...

Researchers at Tulane University, with a team of colleagues from eight other universities, have discovered a new nerve cell signaling mechanism that could transform our understanding of pain and lead ...

Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...

The structural and functional characteristics of mitochondria shape their role as signaling organelles, with far-reaching ...

A heart attack activates stress circuits in the brain that evolved for survival but can amplify inflammation, disrupt healing ...

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder and is one of the leading chronic diseases worldwide. It is widely known for its impact on blood sugar levels and conditions related to the ...

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling in the tissue around oral cancers both increases nerve sensitivity and ...

A new nano-sized drug carrier that finds bone tumors and releases treatment exactly where it's needed is here to improve the ...
