Can we regrow damaged nerves? A new study identifies the AHR protein as the switch that limits axon regeneration.

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a molecular switch in neurons that limits the ...

These pillars are composed of polyacrylamide hydrogel, a material whose stiffness can be adjusted to match the ~5 kPa ...

The data shows when the protein is removed from neurons or has its signaling activity blocked with drugs, axonal fibers grew more effectively.

Scientists in the Vollum Institute at OHSU have identified an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the degeneration of axons, the threadlike portions of a nerve cell that transmit signals within the ...

Axons are the long fibers that carry signals between nerve cells, or neurons, in both central and peripheral nervous systems.
