Forget the traditional tubular shape—researchers are investigating a pearl-on-a-string formation for axons, unlocking new insights into neural signaling in health and disease. Laura is an assistant ...

For decades, scientists have focused on amyloid plaques—abnormal clumps of misfolded proteins that accumulate between neurons ...

These axons extend over distances long and short to reach their target, ultimately connecting neurons with other nerve tissue, muscle tissue, or sensory organs (Figure 1A). For example ...

A recent study published in the journal Engineering delves into the application of tissue engineering in spinal cord injury ...

My current research is focused on sympathetic innervation in adipose tissue. Mobilization of fat depots is triggered via direct stimulation ... Mastick, Ph.D., in the Department of Biology at the ...

The hypothesis that it disrupts the function of retinal ganglion cell axons by increasing mechanical forces on the lamina cribrosa of the optic nerve head has received considerable experimental ...
