A secondary stress signaling pathway in the response to optic axon injury is an unexpectedly strong contributor to both neurodegeneration and axon regenerative potential.

A discovery that may improve treatment options for patients with neurodegenerative diseases. A discovery that may improve treatment options for patients with neurodegenerative diseases has been made ...

Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal organs, are capable of regenerating after injury. This is why injuries to the central ...

This press release is available in German. Around 100 billion neurons in the human brain enable us to think, feel and act. They transmit electrical impulses to remote parts of the brain and body via ...

Human brains (and the brains of other vertebrates) are able to process information faster because of myelin, a fatty substance that forms a protective sheath over the axons of our nerve cells and ...

Nerve cells (neurons) send signals throughout the brain and the body along long processes called axons; these communication and information processes consume high levels of energy. A recent study ...

A discovery that may improve treatment options for patients with neurodegenerative diseases has been made by scientists at King's College London and the University of Bath in the UK. This finding ...
