and a distinct layer of developing perineurium appears at the nerve surface. The SCP–Schwann cell transition therefore correlates with an important step in the organogenesis of peripheral nerves.

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international ...

Other scientists have only recently identified hot and cold nerve cell receptors in the peripheral nervous system located just beneath the skin. This is the system that tells the brain to pull the ...

Scientists have identified a previously unknown type of neural stem cell (pNSC) that exists outside the brain and spinal cord ...

The detection of peripheral neural stem cells could transform the treatment of Parkinson's disease and spinal cord injuries.

Recently, Sahoo and his RU-N research team made a breakthrough, using a peptide to help nerve cells in both the peripheral ...

Peripheral neuropathy affects nerves outside ... When this transport is disrupted by disease nerve cells can malfunction and send random signals, resulting in pain, tingling, muscle spasms ...

SHENZHEN -- Chinese scientists have, for the first time, confirmed the existence of microglia in the peripheral nervous ...
