The researchers found that to carry out their function, the nerve cells found in fat tissue rely on a well-known sensor called Piezo2, which is capable of monitoring mechanical changes. In the next ...

If the axons fail to progress past the injury site, a scar of nerve tissue called a neuroma may form, resulting in blocked nerve conduction. (Enlarge Image) Nerve degeneration and regeneration.

Nerve damage from diabetes isn’t reversible. But you may be able to stop neuropathy from getting worse, or possibly eliminate symptoms as if you’re not living with this complication anymore ...

Now that the group has shown that exercising muscle can promote nerve growth at the cellular level, they plan to study how targeted muscle stimulation can be used to grow and heal damaged nerves ...
