When AHR is turned off, neurons shift priorities. They increase protein production and activate pathways that support axon growth. The team also found that this regenerative response depends on ...
Can we regrow damaged nerves? A new study identifies the AHR protein as the switch that limits axon regeneration.
A new collaborative study shows how blood vessel genes play a critical role in motor neuron development by telling blood vessels to get out of the way. The discovery has implications for understanding ...
Effective axon regeneration is critical for restoring nerve function in patients with axon injury-related neurological diseases, yet adult mammals show limited regenerative capacity in central axonal ...
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, ...
Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a molecular switch in neurons that limits the ...
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 ...
A new, more life-like physical model of microscopic nerve fibers called axons could speed up the discovery of medicines for ...
A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the ...
Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a molecular switch in neurons that limits the ...
