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 ...

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 ...

Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered that neurons located in the wrong place can still carry out their normal ...

Researchers have used a novel technique to 3D print brain tissue whose cells developed into functional neurons that communicated with each other in a matter of weeks. They say the approach could be ...

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 ...

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, ...

A study from UCLA neurologists challenges the idea that the brain recruits existing neurons to take over for those that are lost from stroke. It shows that in mice, undamaged neurons do not change ...
