Researchers have successfully directed stem cell-derived neurons to regenerate lost tissue in damaged corticospinal tracts of rats, resulting in functional benefit, a new article reports. Writing in ...

A previously unappreciated phenomenon has been reported in which the location of injury to a neuron's communication wire in the spinal cord -- the axon -- determines whether the neuron simply ...

Researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System, with colleagues in Japan and Wisconsin, report that they have successfully ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In the adult central nervous system (CNS) of higher vertebrates lesioned axons seemed unable to regenerate and reach their former target ...

The regeneration of damaged neurons has been the ultimate goal for a large portion of neuroscience research. Understanding the underlying mechanisms that control neuronal growth is key to developing ...
