Notoriously tricky to detect, pancreatic cancer also often resists traditional therapy. So, researchers are urgently looking ...

The Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders hosted a public workshop on September 12–13, 2016 to more deeply explore ways to motivate and accelerate drug development for nervous system ...

Researchers found that nerves and cancer-supporting cells team up early to drive pancreatic cancer—breaking that alliance could weaken the disease before it fully forms.

Despite new methodologies and flexible regulatory pathways, CNS biopharmaceuticals still face significant safety assessment ...

The first stem cell culture method that produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system has been developed by a team of engineers and biologists at the University of ...

The first organized stem cell culture model that resembles all three sections of the embryonic brain and spinal cord, and produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system, ...

Many people are familiar with oncogenes - genes long known to be involved in cancers in humans, such as the gene "Src." What's less widely understood is that oncogenes didn't evolve just to cause ...

Researchers at Rice University have revealed a previously unknown function of opioid receptors in the development of the enteric nervous system (ENS), often referred to as the "brain in the gut." This ...

"I'm fine" and "I'll take care of it" (even at capacity) can be nervous system signals. Decoding them makes hard moments easier to navigate.
