Analyzing molecular changes in two types of peripheral nerves that are affected in diabetic peripheral neuropathy – the sural, which carry sensory signals, and the tibial, which carry both sensory and ...

A deep-learning model trained on optical coherence tomography scans of the optic nerve head reliably distinguished among various types of optic nerve damage, such as glaucoma, non-arteritic anterior ...

Prolonged, often disabling, small-fiber neuropathy in long COVID may be caused by a defective immune response, a small longitudinal study suggested. Peripheral neuropathy was identified in 59% of 17 ...

A new tool to model peripheral nerve stimulation rapidly discovered optimal electrical waveforms (white traces) which, when delivered through the metal contacts of a cuff electrode placed on the vagus ...

New research from the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the National Institutes of Health hypothesizes nerve damage as the cause of long COVID symptoms in some people. The small study found ...

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 ...

New insights into the opposing actions of serotonin-producing nerve fibers in mice could lead to drugs for treating addictions and major depression. Scientists in Japan have identified a nerve pathway ...

A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point to a new way of treating nerve pain. When you purchase through links on our ...
