Chinese scientists succeed in multiplying millions of NK cells against cancer from a single donor, for more accessible therapies.

Microneurography is a method that allows the researchers to listen to the nerve signalling in one nerve cell at a time. No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified three types of nerve cells connected to the intestinal villi, suggesting that previously unknown neural networks regulate fluid balance in the gut.

The retina is often referred to as an "outpost of the brain"—after all, important steps in visual signal processing do not take place in the cerebrum, but in the nerve cells in the eye. When light ...

Until recently, most researchers assumed that the vagus nerve sent messages up to the brain from the GI tract using the equivalent of one northbound lane on a gut-to-brain communication superhighway.

Pancreatic cancer is fueled by connections to the nervous system. This is reported by scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the Heidelberg Institute for Stem Cell Technology and ...
