In mouse brain cells, and in follow-up work involving worms and human cortical neurons, the team found that many axons ...

Researchers created a human spinal cord organoid, injured it, then applied an experimental therapy. What happened next was ...

Neurons are specialized cells of the nervous system that communicate using electrical signals, which propagate down long, wire-like projections called axons. The conduction of these signals requires ...

A tiny roundworm has helped University of Queensland scientists uncover minuscule structures in skin tissue that may protect the body's ability to feel temperature, touch and pain. The research is ...

This is a useful study that seeks to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying spinal motor circuit assembly. The authors demonstrate that loss of Onecut transcription factors in spinal motor ...
