This important study focused on characterizing clonally derived MSC populations from the synovium of normal and osteoarthritis (OA) patients, demonstrating their potential to regenerate cartilage in ...

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers found that the neuronal energy conservation program determines the location and ...

These cells coordinate bodily functions and movement quickly, often without intentional thought. They also can be affected differently by health conditions. Talk with your healthcare provider if you ...

Myelin is an insulating layer of lipids and proteins surrounding nerves. Myelin damage can cause problems with the nerves’ ability to send and receive electrical messages. Inflammatory disorders ...

Following an injury, the brain tries to repair the damaged nerve fibers . Unfortunately, the repair process often succeeds only partially, meaning many patients experience lasting damage to their ...

Eating foods high in key nutrients, including iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12, and limiting alcohol may help increase your red blood cell count. Red blood cells are the most common cells in ...

Critics argued that the biological environment was complex and that it would be hard to attribute nerve growth to stimulation by muscles because of the variety of other cell types and contributing ...

In 2009 a team of biophysicists led by Anthony A. Hyman of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, were studying specklelike structures called P ...
