D bioprinted nerve tissues offer new hope for ALS drug testing. Uppsala team creates motor neuron organoids from patient ...

Chronic pain affects millions of people in the US. Targeting an oft-overlooked brain receptor could one day offer relief.

D printers can be used to make organoids from a patient's cells that resemble human nerve tissue to test new amyotrophic lateral sclerosis treatments.

Motor neurons are nerve cells that control our muscles by sending signals from the brain and spinal cord out to the body. In diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), these cells are ...

A new study reveals the key lies not in the production of a regrowth molecule, but in that molecule's controlled destruction.

Her own lab, for example, has created a model of a human neural tube, the structure in an embryo that becomes the brain and spinal cord. Jon Hamilton, NPR News.
