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 ...

Scientists have re-created a pain pathway in the brain by growing four key clusters of human nerve cells in a dish. This laboratory model could be used to help explain certain pain syndromes, and ...

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.

However, a known issue with the neurological application of magnetoelectrics is that the signals the materials produce tend to be too fast for other human nerves to pick up. To solve that, the Rice ...
