Autophagy is the process by which cells remove damaged proteins, recycle worn-out organelles (e.g., mitochondria), clear ...

In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...

All cells, whether big or small, short or long, rely on proteins to function properly. In most cells, transporting these proteins is relatively simple. Neurons in the brain, however, face a ...

The ability to regulate one's own food intake is essential to the survival of both humans and other animals. This innate ability ensures that the body receives the nutrients it needs to perform daily ...

During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular switch" involving the protein Teneurin 4 (Ten4). This protein can guide ...

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMS), i.e., laminin-1 or N-cadhedrin Adhesion and attractant Allow cells to grow along the surfaces of other cells (such as using pioneering axons for subsequent axons) ...

Tole combines ultrasound and AI to improve motor neuron disease diagnosis, reducing reliance on invasive procedures.

New research uncovers the impact of excess iron accumulation in neurons, causing vulnerability to stress and leading to neurodegenerative diseases. The mechanism, named chronoferroptosis, highlights ...
