Proteins of the fast component of axonal transport were analyzed by one- and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the guinea pig spiral ganglion, which has its cell bodies in the ...

Grappling with a question that has defied scientific explanation for decades, a small team of researchers from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine offers the first ...

Neurons depend heavily on efficient intracellular transport, perhaps more than any other type of cell. Two papers in Neuron provide evidence that proteins with expanded glutamine repeats, such as ...

Two papers in the 25 September Neuron move axonal transport squarely into the limelight of research on triplet-repeat (or polyQ) diseases, including Huntington’s. One team of scientists, led by Larry ...

The Pautler Lab develops and applies methodologies that permit high-resolution images of the structure and function of the brain in intact, living animals. Manganese Enhanced MRI (MEMRI) Neuronal ...

Tiny, toxic protein particles severely disrupt neurotransmission and inhibit delivery of key proteins in Alzheimer's disease, two separate studies by Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) researchers ...
