Researchers have discovered that mysterious clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling 'hotspots' that activate gene transcription, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The ...

One in five people worldwide suffers from chronic inflammatory pain. Meanwhile, about two thirds of those affected find ...

Clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling “hotspots” that link electrical signals to gene expression, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The discovery may potentially lead ...

Inhibitory "stop" neurons are actually responsible for driving the rhythmic limb movements of fruit flies through a unique ...

Hyderabad have identified a mammalian protein, Cnpy1 (Canopy1), that is essential for the survival and function of ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously unseen neural connections and lesser-known ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern (UTSW) and Indiana University have used genetic engineering techniques to trigger the production of functional nerve cells from scar-forming cells in mouse spinal cords, ...

In the current issue of Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology published on December 16th, 2020, a research team led by Prof. Gong Chen at Jinan University, Guangzhou, China, reported an ...

Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous system. They help support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the nervous ...
