Neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) fail to regenerate axons after injuries due to the diminished intrinsic axon growth capacity of mature neurons and the hostile extrinsic environment ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract To understand how microtubules are generated in the growth cone, we have imaged fluorescently tagged microtubules in living frog embryonic ...

New insights into the regulation of growth cone motility by cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) come from a study published in the Journal of Cell Biology. Nakai and Kamiguchi show that certain CAMs are ...

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 -- Humans see color thanks to cone cells, specialized light-sensing neurons located in the retina along the inner surface of the eyeball. The actual light-sensing section of these ...

Microtubule plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs) play key roles in the regulation of microtubule dynamics in vivo. These proteins bind to and regulate microtubule “plus‐ends”, which are the dynamic ends ...

Nothing is easy to predict, especially not the development of organisms. However, predicting neuron cell growth has just become a little bit easier, thanks to CMU researchers. Science X Daily and the ...
