For decades, scientists have focused on amyloid plaques—abnormal clumps of misfolded proteins that accumulate between neurons ...

For more than a century, axons — the slender arms of brain cells — have been depicted as uniform tubes. These structures are responsible for transmitting information across neurons.

For the first time in over 20 years, Bertone is reintroducing hidden pop-up headlights on its new limited-production ...

In some circumstances, remyelination fails, leaving the axons and even the entire neuron vulnerable to degeneration.

They used fruit flies to show that depletion of mitochondria in axons can directly lead to protein accumulation. At the same ...

Schwann cells, which are also known as neurolemmocytes, provide the myelin sheath that protects the axons of nerve cells. Schwann cells become active immediately after an injury and transform into ...
