A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal ...

A recent study published in Cell reveals that the repeated DNA sequence that leads to Huntington’s disease (HD) expands ...

4 In 1967, the term 'corticodentatonigral degeneration with neuronal achromasia' was introduced to describe three individuals who presented with progressive awkwardness and slowness of voluntary ...

Neural transplants used to treat Huntington disease (HD) show disease-like degeneration in the long term, despite seeming to be successful and healthy initially. Francesca Cicchetti, Thomas ...

Understanding these mechanisms is not only important for neuronal development, but also to design strategies that overcome neuronal degeneration after injuries and diseases. The focus of our research ...

This technology selectively marks neuronal membranes, allowing for the visualization of neuronal structures and real-time monitoring of neuronal changes. Neurons are nerve cells that transmit ...

This genetic treatment reduced bowel symptoms and extended the lifespan of the mice by preventing enteric neuron degeneration. The findings, published Jan. 15 in Science Translational Medicine ...

Therefore, the biological burden or propensity for neural degenerative and regenerative processing is enhanced in the brain. The degenerative events include neuronal death and synaptic loss ...

The research groups led by Associate Professor Masaki Sone from the Faculty of Science, Toho University, and Professor Hitoshi Okazawa from Institute of Science Tokyo and Maastricht University in the ...
