New Parkinson's disease research suggests defective regulation of microtubules may be responsible for some cases of Parkinson's disease.
Research into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, has lead to new information about neuronal loss...
Research involving programmed cell death has lead to new information about the involvement of a protein named FLIP in cell...
Researchers created a wide variety of motor neurons using human embryonic stem cells and a new technique. In previous research,...
Scientists found that the protein named reelin is deeply involved in the migration of new nerve cells to the neocortex...
Scientists have shown that stem cells delivered to rats via a nasal spray lead to an improvement of motor functions...
Parkinson’s disease may be caused by oxidative stress within cells due to defective nucleoli. Dopamine producing neurons are particularly sensitive...
Scientists have discovered genetic mutations in brain tumors that alter brain tumor metabolism. The scientists report that cells with defective...
The researchers knocked out the Erk gene during peripheral nervous system development in mice. The researchers noticed the neurons of these knock-out mice were largely unaffected, but Schwann cells were "just devastated at every stage of development."
Neuroscientists found that the specific microRNA, microRNA-29 (miR-29), can make brain cells resistant to programmed cell death. The researchers injected...
New imaging techniques using newly developed stable antibodies and X-ray crystallography allows imaging of the adrenaline receptors for the first...
Huntington’s disease research using simple organisms such as baker’s yeast has yielded new information about underlying mechanisms of Huntington’s disease...
