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 ...

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 ...

Biochemical, transcriptional and histological measurements in spinal cord supported that these gait improvements reflected increased axon survival ... is planning to develop IRX4204 for multiple ...

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 ...

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 ...

Myelin is an insulating layer that wraps around axons, enabling efficient transmission ... The technology also has promising applications beyond the nervous system, potentially providing insight ...

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 ...

ATTR-PN diagnosis requires a combination of neurological and non-neurological tests, such as blood pressure monitoring, a ...

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 ...

CST axon densities were diverse in the clinical PMA group ... which were broadly extended throughout the central nervous system. These inclusions were positive for FUS but negative for TDP-43, ...
