as axonal degeneration is arguably the most frequent neuronal pathology. Axons are interrupted in diseases as diverse as stroke, transverse myelitis and trauma. Even more prevalent are chronic ...

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMS), i.e., laminin-1 or N-cadhedrin Adhesion and attractant Allow cells to grow along the surfaces of other cells (such as using pioneering axons for subsequent axons ...

My lab studies how neuronal circuits form during embryonic development. Specifically, we identify and study genes required for the correct navigation of neuronal processes (axons and dendrites), a ...

The claim is intriguing, but it’s too soon to redraw axons, says Pramod Pullarkat, a physicist who studies neuron structure at Raman Research Institute in Bengaluru, India. “I would not take ...

Following neuron migration, neurons send out an axon and are ultimately able to create the rudimentary networks necessary to facilitate information processing and behavioral patterns. The pathway ...

mechanisms of neuronal death, axonal regeneration, stem cell biology, and research strategies targeted at axon regeneration and neuron replacement. New chapters have been added covering ...

Supported by funds from NINDS, the Watkins Lab is uncovering how two prominent stress pathways are coordinately initiated by axon injury and the mechanisms by which these two arms of the response ...
