Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The study, ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

The development of the cerebral cortex largely depends on the stem cells responsible for generating neurons, known as radial glial cells. Until now, it was believed that these stem cells generated ...

New research has discovered that reducing levels of the STAUFEN-1 protein can prevent neuron death caused by DNA damage and p53 activation in neurodegenerative diseases.

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

Cellular maturation involves transcriptional, metabolic, and physiological changes that drive cell function. In human neurons, this process takes longer than in most other cell types, lasting almost ...

A key protein expressed in epithelial “skin” cells plays a critical role in protecting the structure and function of cells in the nervous system of a model nematode, a type of worm, according to new ...

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on consciousness research on May 15, 2024. The collection of reviews, commentaries, and interviews reflect the ...
