Scientists have uncovered how a newly discovered gene, NEK1, in which mutations have been linked to ALS cases, disrupts the function of the motor neuron and causes it to degenerate and die. The viral ...
Investigators at Cedars-Sinai have created computer-generated models to bridge the gap between "test tube" data about neurons and the function of those cells in the living brain. Their study, ...
The transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels comprise a diverse superfamily of cation channels that play pivotal roles in sensory transduction, enabling organisms to detect a wide range of ...
