The inhibition of GCK-IV kinases leads to robust neuroprotection while permitting axon regeneration. The findings could lead to new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases.
Researchers report the injury pathway is triggered when Unc-104 is mutated. This mutation leads synapses to become defective.
Manipulating the genes of the Drosophila fruit fly to promote the growth of one part of a neuron simultaneously stunts the growth of the other part, new research suggests.
A protein required to regrow injured peripheral nerves has been identified by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in...
