A secondary stress signaling pathway in the response to optic axon injury is an unexpectedly strong contributor to both neurodegeneration and axon regenerative potential.

Researchers found that inhibiting GSK-3 led to less defects in the axonal transport process and less neuronal cell death, while inhibiting ERK1 led to more transport problems and more cell death. A ...

Researchers discover that KCNQ2/3 potassium channels must be functional to reach their proper location in the brain, with major implications for treating epilepsy.

A research group at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro has advanced polylaminin, a laminin-based biomaterial, from ...

Spinal cord injury often triggers a cascade of secondary damage that severely limits functional recovery, largely driven by ...

Axons are the brain’s information highways, transporting cellular cargo, chemical signals, and electrical impulses to other cells. These “roads” are typically depicted as smooth and cylindrical, with ...

A mutation in the TDP-43 protein reduces the viability of motor neurons without triggering protein clumps, researchers found.

Thought LeaderDr. Federico Dajas-BailadorHead of Axon Biology Lab University of Nottingham UK After a recent visit to ELRIGs Drug Discovery 2023, News-Medical sits down with Dr. Federico ...

Spinal cord injuries caused by external trauma, such as traffic accidents or falls, often lead to the permanent loss of motor and sensory functions. This is because the spinal cord—the central pathway ...
