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

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The study, ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Thought LeaderDr. Federico Dajas-BailadorHead of Axon Biology Lab University of Nottingham UK After a recent visit to ELRIGs Drug Discovery 2023, News-Medical sits down with Dr. Federico ...

Scientists have long known that inherited neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or motor neuron ...

Axons are the brain’s information highways, transporting cellular cargo, chemical signals, and electrical impulses to other cells. These “roads” are typically depicted as smooth and cylindrical, with ...

The ultrathin tendrils that zip messages around the nervous system are often drawn as smooth lines. But a new study adds some flourishes to that classical picture. Like a garland of cranberries hung ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Nerve cells, or neurons, are the basic functional units of the nervous system. Multiple interconnected neurons form a neural circuit and ...
