This important study leverages the power of Drosophila genetics and sparsely-labeled neurons to propose a new model for neuronal injury signaling. The authors present convincing evidence to support ...

They have some features in common: A long fibre (axon) which is insulated by a ... as electrical impulses to co-ordinators such as the central nervous system or CNS. The CNS is the brain and ...

The ultrathin tendrils that zip messages around the nervous system are often drawn as smooth ... nerve fibers called axons may actually be a series of bumps, researchers suggest December 2 in ...

Dr. Rasband's team is discovering the functional organization of axons in health as well as disease or injury. The generation, propagation, and modulation of electrical signals in the nervous system ...

Axon guidance defects can lead to severe problems in the development of the nervous system and contribute to various neurological diseases. Charron and his study's collaborators in the U.S. and ...

Given compelling links between RXR activation and increased myelin repair, the collaborating scientists employed IRX4204 to investigate the impact of RXR agonism on functional recovery in mice ...

During the development of the olfactory epithelium (OE), olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) express only one member of the odorant receptor (OR) gene family, and O ...

NervGen's groundbreaking NVG-291 treatment for spinal cord injury is currently in trials with FDA Fast Track Designation.

Fabian-Fine said the entire nervous system in round worms only has about ... thought to be exclusively located surrounding neurono axons for insulation purposes. Neurono axons are the long ...

The axon is the main neuronal process providing structure and intercellular communication in the nervous system. In mammals, it can extend up to a meter long and it must often survive far away from ...

They serve as survival factors to ensure a match between the number of surviving neurons and the requirement for appropriate target innervation and also regulate cell fate decisions, axon growth ...

Renal failure may affect the peripheral nervous system, resulting in a neuropathy which shows a predilection for large diameter axons. This may be reversed by dialysis and transplantation. The ...
