Axon regeneration and central nervous system repair represent critical frontiers in neuroscience research, offering promise for restoring communication and function after injury. Following trauma, ...

Neurotrophin signalling orchestrates a myriad of cellular events essential for the development, survival, and functional maintenance of sympathetic neurons. Neurotrophins such as nerve growth factor ...

Damages to the central nervous system (CNS), for example in the case of spinal cord injury, can result in permanent loss of sensory and motor function. It is because the severed axons are unable to ...

Carnegie Mellon University's Jessica Zhang and Angran Li have developed a new way to model material transport regulation in neurons, focusing on the "traffic jams" that occur in these neural pathways.

Agnes (Yu) Luo, PhD. [University of Cincinnati] After a stroke, extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules known as chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) become barriers to axonal plasticity and ...

Each year, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), millions of people in the U.S. are affected by spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries, along with neuro-developmental and ...
