Among these sensors, we further focused on the spatiotemporal dynamics of Rab10 and Rab4 activity during sLTP. We found that postsynaptic stimulation leads to the persistent inactivation of Rab10 and ...

Marcks and Marcks-like 1 proteins are required for normal neurite formation and proliferation of neuro-glial progenitors during development and regeneration of the Xenopus spinal cord implicating ...

Axons in brain cells resemble a string of pearls rather than smooth tubes, according to Johns Hopkins researchers. This ...

In a provocative new study, scientists challenge a fundamental tenet in neuroscience about the shape of axons -- the long, ...

In a study, scientists challenge a fundamental tenet in neuroscience about the shape of axons -- the long, thin filaments radiating from nerve cells that transmit electrical signals from cell to cell ...

New research challenges traditional views on axon structure, presenting a "pearls-on-a-string" model where action potential ...

Biology textbooks may need a revision, say Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists, who present new evidence that an armlike structure of mammalian brain cells may be a different shape than scientists have ...

Membrane biophysics is the study of the physical ... and the effect they have on paracellular transport and phenomena relating to cell shape. The kinetics of assembly and Ca 2+-dependent ...

A new study challenges the long-held belief that axons, brain cell extensions, are tube-like, revealing instead a "pearl-on-a ...

Biology textbooks may need a revision, say Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists, who present new evidence that an armlike ...

“Understanding the structure of axons is important for understanding brain cell signaling,” says Shigeki Watanabe, Ph.D., ...
