The study, to be published in the Nov. 17 issue of the Journal of Cell Biology, will be available online Nov. 10. At the junction between the axon and the cell…
Using charged nanoparticles, researchers at the University of Illinois have found a new way to stimulate patchiness in phospholipid membranes.”We are seeing a…
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have identified a novel mechanism in the regulation and differentiation of neural stem cells. Researchers found that the protein receptor Ryk has a key role in the differentiation of neural stem cells, and demonstrated a signaling mechanism that regulates neuronal differentiation as stem cells begin to grow into neurons. The study will be published in the Nov. 11 issue of the journal Developmental Cell, and is now available online….
New research, just published by researchers from the University of Georgia, provides the first evidence that a key gene may be crucial to maintaining the…
