Axon pruning becomes reactivated in neurodegenerative diseases, a new study finds.
Researchers have discovered some surprising insights about the process of axonal pruning. The findings could provide clues about the processes underlying some neurological disorders such as autism and schizophrenia.
Researchers have discovered a way in which the body can remove injured axons. They also identified a potential target for new drugs which could prevent the inappropriate loss of axons, as well as maintain nerve function.
Researchers discover a build up of acylcarnitines in Schwann cells can lead to nerve damage noted in patients with peripheral neuropathy.
Researchers from the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute at the University of Barcelona have coordinated research into how the IDPN nitrile causes neurological syndromes similar to those of the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a severe neuromuscular degenerative disease.
Researchers from the Huck Institutes’ Center for Cellular Dynamics, led by Center director Melissa Rolls, have found that a neuroprotective...
A protein required to regrow injured peripheral nerves has been identified by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in...
A receptor recently discovered to control the movement of immune cells across the blood-brain barrier may hold the key to...
Findings could have broad therapeutic potential for many neurodegenerative diseases. Degeneration of the axon and synapse, the slender projection through...
