To coax human nerve cells in a laboratory to thrive, there are three magic words: location, location, location. Many experiments grow human nerve cells in lab dishes. But a new study enlists some real ...

New research from Oregon Health & Science University found over 10,000 nerve fibers in the marble-sized human clitoris, the organ responsible for sexual pleasure in female bodies. Previous estimates, ...

Scientists have re-created a pain pathway in the brain by growing four key clusters of human nerve cells in a dish. This laboratory model could be used to help explain certain pain syndromes, and ...

In diabetes, much attention goes to sugar control, insulin levels, and the threat of nerve damage. But a new study reveals something often overlooked—how the breakdown of nerve function in diabetes ...

Human brain tissue has been successfully transplanted into the brains of rats using a cutting-edge experimental procedure, say researchers. They envision the achievement as a promising new frontier in ...

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.

However, a known issue with the neurological application of magnetoelectrics is that the signals the materials produce tend to be too fast for other human nerves to pick up. To solve that, the Rice ...
