Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

New research has discovered that reducing levels of the STAUFEN-1 protein can prevent neuron death caused by DNA damage and ...

A single damaged protein inside one brain cell may seem insignificant. Yet new research shows how that small mistake can ...

University of Utah researchers at the Pulst-Scoles Laboratory have discovered that reducing levels of the STAUFEN-1 protein ...

In humans and other mammals, loss of neurons in the retina due to trauma or disease is an irreversible process that can lead to blindness. But unlike humans, some animals, such as fish, have the ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron. With a signal ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

Cellular maturation involves transcriptional, metabolic, and physiological changes that drive cell function. In human neurons, this process takes longer than in most other cell types, lasting almost ...

Long before memory problems appear, your brain may already be losing neurons. That is the unsettling message from new work by scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, who ...
