UCSB researchers discover that the cell's endosomes use a surprising transportation system
Cells have developed a surprising transportation system for their endosomes, according to research published today in Physical Review Letters, "Dynamics and Spatial Organization of Endosomes in Mammalian Cells."   view more (2005-10-06)

Nature's weapon against nerve agents
An enzyme found naturally in the blood could help protect soldiers against the effects of the deadly nerve agent sarin, reports Cath O'Driscoll in the Society of Chemical Industry's magazine Chemistry & Industry, the magazine of the SCI.   view more (2007-07-30)

Scientists produce neurons from human skin
Scientists from Université Laval's Faculty of Medicine have succeeded in producing neurons in vitro using stem cells extracted from adult human skin.   view more (2007-02-23)

Nerves controlling muscles are best repaired with similar nerves
When repairing severed or damaged motor nerves with a donor nerve graft, surgeons have traditionally used a sensory nerve from another area of the patient's body. However, these patients often do not fully regain function in the injured area.   view more (2007-05-14)

Discovery of novel nerve cell modulator offers potential for mood disorders, epilepsy treatments
The discovery of a novel molecular switch that powerfully modulates nerve cell activity offers the potential for new mood disorder and epilepsy treatments, University of California, Irvine researchers report.   view more (2007-08-06)

Government dithering "compounds transport crisis", say leading academics
Academics and transport professionals at the Royal Geographical Society today will strongly criticise the government over its failure to deliver an integrated transport system for the UK. Meeting at the Royal Geographical Society's headquarters in London, a range of leading transport geographers,... view more (2001-09-19)

Adult brain cells rediscover their inner child
You may not be able to relive your youth, but part of your brain can. Johns Hopkins researchers have found that newly made nerves in an adult brain's learning center experience a one-month period when they are just as active as the nerves in a developing child.   view more (2007-05-24)

Protein in human hair shows promise for regenerating nerves
A protein found in human hair shows promise for promoting the regeneration of nerve tissue and could lead to a new treatment option when nerves are cut or crushed from trauma.   view more (2008-01-11)

When smell cells fail they call in stem cell reserves
Hopkins researchers have identified a backup supply of stem cells that can repair the most severe damage to the nerves responsible for our sense of smell.   view more (2007-04-30)

Iron-moving malfunction may underlie neurodegenerative diseases, aging
A glitch in the ability to move iron around in cells may underlie a disease known as Type IV mucolipidosis (ML4) and the suite of symptoms---mental retardation, poor vision and diminished motor abilities---that accompany it, new research at the University of Michigan shows.   view more (2008-09-23)

3 proteins may play important role in nerve-cell repair
Some mature brain cells can grow new extensions when the amount of three particular proteins on their surface increases, a new study shows.   view more (2007-04-12)

A new focus for the mechanism of nerve growth
Researchers at Yale shed new light on the mechanism of nerve cell growth by identifying novel functions for a molecular "motor" protein, myosin-II, according to an article in the March issue of Nature Cell Biology.   view more (2006-03-20)

Killer competition: Neurons duke it out for survival
The developing nervous system makes far more nerve cells than are needed to ensure target organs and tissues are properly connected to the nervous system. As nerves connect to target organs, they somehow compete with each other resulting in some living and some dying.   view more (2008-05-07)

Vascular biologists make a significant discovery in neurobiology
Researchers investigating blood vessels at Barts and The London School of Medicine have hit upon a new discovery in neurobiology that could have implications for patients experiencing peripheral nerve disorders.   view more (2007-11-30)

Cranfield University Reaches Remoter Regions
The Third Air Transport in Remoter Regions Forum, organised by Cranfield University and recently held in Cork, Ireland, proved the ideal platform for Cranfield to announce the establishment of their Air Transport in Remoter Regions Research Centre. The centre aims to provide an international focal... view more (2003-06-16)

Human stem cell transplants mature into neurons and make contacts in rat spinal cord
Human nerve stem cells transplanted into rats' damaged spinal cords have survived, grown and in some cases connected with the rats' own spinal cord cells in a Johns Hopkins laboratory, overturning the long-held notion that spinal cords won't allow nerve repair.   view more (2007-02-14)

Unique Coastal Defence Research
'We will be comparing the 3D beach evolution and sediment transport in the CRF model with measurements made on the Sussex coast at Elmer, on which the model is based,' explains Dr Chadwick, Reader in Coastal Engineering. 'The CRF data will also be compared against calculations of beach evolution... view more (1998-12-23)

Gene therapy delivery of nerve growth factors reverses erectile dysfunction in animal model
Rats with erectile dysfunction, or ED, that were injected with a gene therapy vector containing either of two nerve growth factors were able to regain normal function after four weeks.   view more (2007-06-04)

Proof-Of-Principle Data For Nerve Repair Programme Presented At The 10th International Symposium On Neural Regeneration
Oxford BioMedica announced today that interim preclinical data from the InnurexTM nerve repair programme are being presented by Prof. Malcolm Maden of King's College London at the 10th International Symposium on Neural Regeneration which is being held at the Asilomar Conference Center, Pacific... view more (2003-12-15)

Loss of nerve cells may link constipation with achalasia of the oesophagus
Patients who have difficulty swallowing food may also be more likely to suffer from constipation, according to a preliminary study published this week in BMC Gastroenterology. The research suggests that patients with achalasia of the oesophagus, associated with a loss of nerve cells in the muscle... view more (2003-10-13)

Nerve cells derived from stem cells and transplanted into mice may lead to improved brain treatments
Scientists at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research have, for the first time, genetically programmed embryonic stem (ES) cells to become nerve cells when transplanted into the brain, according to a study published today in The Journal of Neuroscience.   view more (2008-06-25)

New genetic model for Parkinson's disease
Researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden are homing in on mechanisms that may explain one set of causes for Parkinson's disease.   view more (2006-07-28)

Viruses hitch a ride in the cell
Viruses can travel around cells they infect by hitching a ride on a microscopic transport system, according to new research. Cells are exposed to foreign DNA and RNA and it is understood that some of this genetic material can be integrated into the host genome. Using modern microscopic techniques,... view more (2008-06-24)

Road transport sector works together to make Europe's roads safer, cleaner - and boost competitiveness
Transport research must focus on the challenges of the future, such as keeping people and products mobile, improving road safety and energy efficiency, and making the sector more competitive. This is the clear message of the European Road Transport Research Advisory Council (ERTRAC)... view more (2005-02-01)

Bioengineers create stable networks of blood vessels
Yale biomedical engineers have created an implantable system that can form and stabilize a functional network of fine blood vessels critical for supporting tissues in the body, according to a report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.   view more (2006-03-01)
