In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...

When humans and other animals are in a calm state, they tend to breathe slower, and their heartbeat also slows down. Contrarily, when they are exercising or under psychological stress, both their ...

However, the neuronal signaling pathways that control this process had previously remained largely unknown. Now, researchers led by Prof. Zhang Hong from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese ...

Importantly, scientists uncovered the precise pathway of this increased neuroplasticity: during recovery from ketamine ...

All cells, whether big or small, short or long, rely on proteins to function properly. In most cells, transporting these proteins is relatively simple. Neurons in the brain, however, face a ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate communication network is built of billions of neurons connected by synapses ...

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) ...

Now, researchers led by Prof. Zhang Hong from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have identified two parallel neuronal circuits that regulate the autophagy-lysosome pathway ...
