The functioning of neurons, cells that transmit information in the nervous system, heavily relies on the production of ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production ...

An axon is the part of a neuron that sends a signal to other cells. Axons extend from the cell body to contact other cells, generally forming synapses between the two cells. These axons can be very ...

Neurons are specialized cells of the nervous system that communicate using electrical signals, which propagate down long, wire-like projections called axons. The conduction of these signals requires ...

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

A new study from the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute now shows how human stem cell based therapy may help repair damaged brain circuits. The research explains how transplanted cells ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.
