Scientists have developed a 3D-printed implant that delivers targeted electrical stimulation to damaged areas of the spinal ...

Such deterioration and loss of function of nerve fibers, or axonal degeneration, also occur in traumatic nerve injury and neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and ALS.

Doctors and genetic researchers at The University of Manchester have discovered that changes in a gene leads to severe nerve damage in children following a mild bout of infection. The research study ...

Current PNI repair options, whether an autograft or NGT, are unable to create a suitable environment for axonal regeneration in cases of major nerve trauma.

Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA), the most common genetic optic neuropathy, is an insidious disease. It often presents ...

Antonella Favit-Van Pelt, MD, PhD, discusses the use of neuromodulation and neuroplasticity for addressing gait deficits in patients with multiple sclerosis.

New research reveals that Alzheimer's disease may impair nerve function not by reducing myelin, but by altering the proteins ...

Giant axonal neuropathy (GAN) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. It develops from a genetic mutation that causes your nerve cells to stop functioning.

"Disruptions in axonal glucose metabolism due to oligodendrocyte dysfunction could lead to nerve damage, which is a concern in aging and several neurodegenerative diseases, such as multiple ...

After injury, the long axonal projections of nerve cells are cut and 'die-back' from the injury site, and at the same time a lesion or gap forms at the wound site that prevents their regrowth ...

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2E (CMT2E) is a slow and progressive neuropathy characterized by axonal dysfunction. Its clinical phenotype includes muscle weakness and atrophy, sensory loss and ...
