Trimming neuronal axons involves a distinct pathway and a rare pathogen-sensing immune protein that could have implications for Alzheimer鈥檚 disease. Neurons have the remarkable ability to kill parts of themselves without dying in a phenomenon known as axon pruning. During axon pruning, neurons trim unnecessary axons, long, threadlike projections from nerve cells that transmit electrical …

Using technology first designed by Bryan L. Roth, MD, PhD, the Michael Hooker Distinguished Professor of Pharmacology, researchers at the 大象传媒 have engineered a molecular technology that can turn off pain receptors. Pain is meant to be a defense mechanism. It creates a strong sensation to get us to respond to a …

Neurons are among the few cells that can halt cell death and recover from apoptosis. Now scientists know why. 鈥淣eurons can reverse their decision to die from a point that鈥檚 considered impossible in most other cells,鈥� said Mohanish Deshmukh, a neuroscientist in the Department of Cell Biology and Physiology. In a recent study published in …

Sleep disturbances during early development alter key synaptic proteins involved in autism spectrum disorder. Anyone who has ever put a toddler to bed knows it鈥檚 a struggle. While sleep might be the bane of a toddler鈥檚 existence it is also an essential component for their brain development. Toddlers need an average of 11-14 hours of …
