A new study suggests that stem cells thought to be dormant may offer clues to why our sense of smell declines or is lost.

The amino acid glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. Glutamate activates ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) which include the NMDA, AMPA ...

These results indicate that target-derived signals are necessary for the maintenance but not the induction of Meis2 expression in sensory neurons. In the glabrous skin, Meissner corpuscles are located ...

Conversely, sensory neuron denervation or blockade of adrenergic signaling ... within the cell clusters and dorsal root ganglia in both sham and SNI states. Sankey diagram reveals the ligands and the ...

To answer these questions, Dr. Iosilevskii and Dr. Katz studied the development of the sensory neuron PVD. This neuron has a highly branched structure, with repetitive subunits resembling a ...

The couple, who have been married for 25 years, never expected a medical curveball themselves but Andy started showing subtle signs of Motor Neurone Disease in 2019. Two years later, he received ...

Using these models, they experimentally verified that these modules contributed to the formation of specific neuron types. "Our study identified and validated specific gene networks that drive the ...
