creating "cellular bridges" that support regeneration of axons -- the long, slender extensions of nerve cell bodies that transmit messages. Researchers observed axon regrowth in injured mice that ...

AMX0114 is an antisense oligonucleotide made to prevent or slow the degeneration of axons, which is a key driver of ALS ...

Every soft caress of wind, searing burn and seismic rumble is detected by our skin’s tangle of touch sensors. David Ginty has ...

The Schwann cell precursor (SCP) represents the first step in the process of gliogenesis in growing nerves. In addition to generating Schwann cells, these cells are likely to provide essential ...

The data convincingly show that the transcription factor Sp1 regulates ephrin-mediated axon guidance in the spinal cord. Although the authors show that Sp1 and its co-activators p300 and CBP are ...

A new study has identified the protein hnRNP A1 as a key player in the production and maintenance of myelin, the fatty sheath ...

Researchers from the University of Rochester have begun an ambitious project to study if living neurons can transmit light through their axons—the long, tail-like nerve fibers of neurons that resemble ...
