Importantly, the team found that mutations associated with neurological conditions like autism and schizophrenia can ...

Summary: New research reveals how a tiny chemical mark on RNA helps wire the brain during development. Scientists discovered ...

The researchers tested this theory in fruit flies by editing the gene that produced F-actin in the brain to produce less, but they only edited the genes in the flies' neurons. Despite this limited ...

The cytoskeleton provides most cells with their shape, structure, and internal organization. In turn, the cytoskeleton relies on a type of actin protein, called filamentous or F-actin.

Brain Aging Reversed in Fruit Flies by Suppressing F-Actin, Restoring Autophagy October 29, 2024 ...

Here, starting from the observation that brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) stimulates LRRK2 Ser935 phosphorylation in neurons, we used unbiased protein-protein interaction (PPI) and ...

The star of the show is a hormone called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or B.D.N.F., that is essential for neuron health and creating new connections — called synapses — between neurons.

The coordinated action of the different cytoskeletal polymers--microtubules, actin filaments and neurofilaments-- is essential for the establishment, remodeling and maintenance of neuronal ...

CHRFAM7A modifies the actin cytoskeleton to a more dynamic and stiffness resistant state in an α7nAChR dependent manner. CHRFAM7A may facilitate neuronal adaptation to changes in the brain environment ...
