The neuron’s inner scaffold, once viewed as static support, now looks like a gatekeeper. Research findings are available ...

Aging doesn’t have to mean losing your past. Scientists have found a way to "reprogram" specific memory-holding neurons, restoring youthful learning and recall in mice.

Scientists developed a technique to grow cells that control voluntary movement, a discovery that could aid ALS and spinal ...

Studies have shown that in ALS patients, microtubules—which are the major component of the cell cytoskeleton and serve as tracks for transporting components from cell bodies to neuronal ...
