Using a new cell model, researchers can for the first time study how hepatitis E viruses affect nerve cells. Hepatitis E viruses (HEV) typically cause liver infections. They can, however, also infect ...

Scientists developed a technique to grow cells that control voluntary movement, a discovery that could aid ALS and spinal injury research.

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

The image shows motor neurons that have been generated from human iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cells) and integrated into a 3D-printed bioscaffold. The cells (shown in red) grow inside the ...

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.

Hepatitis E viruses (HEV) typically cause liver infections. They can, however, also infect other organs and cause neurological disorders. Little is yet known about how this process works. A research ...

Researchers have developed two innovative tools to help us delve deeper into cell communication, offering spatial insight ...

LEUVEN October 31st - Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by a progressive loss of nerve cells leading to a decline in memory and cognition. A team of researchers at KU Leuven and VIB explored the ...
