No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by scientists in a new study on the human sense of touch.

Using RNA sequencing analysis from human tumor tissue, the researchers found that sensory nerves helped accelerate tumor growth by acting on the immune system to decrease specific T-cells ...

Recent research identifies 16 human nerve cell types, revealing complex sensory responses and challenging traditional views ...

When pain signals are passed along the nervous system, proteins called calcium channels play a key role. Researchers at ...

Nerve cells that had similar gene expression profiles were grouped together as one sensory nerve cell type. In this way, they identified 16 distinct types of nerve cells in humans. As the ...

To test for sensory and motor function of the cranial nerves, your healthcare provider may ask you to follow a finger with ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Georgia screened compounds for the ability to treat familial dysautonomia (FD) ...

Interoception research reveals how gut-brain communication via neural, hormonal, and microbial pathways regulates metabolism, ...

Several nerves can be biopsied but the major requirement for selection of a nerve for biopsy is that it should be a purely sensory nerve. Biopsy of a nerve with any motor function carries the risk of ...

and the peripheral nervous system (motor nerves, sensory nerves, cranial and spinal nerves, autonomic ganglia, and plexuses). Bassi et al investigate the impact of phrenic nerve stimulation on ...
