Our cells rely on microscopic highways and specialized protein vehicles to move everything—from positioning organelles to carting protein instructions to disposing of cellular garbage. These highways ...

A research group has discovered that certain naturally occurring peptides in the body can trigger contractions in the vas ...

Besides charting the nature of space and time and penning the bestseller "A Brief History of Time," Stephen Hawking has ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is marked by fasciculation, spasticity and progressive weakness of muscles ... by rapid motor neuron (MN ...

The scientists at the University of California, San Francisco, and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore injected an ...

Collectively, the data from in vitro and in vivo studies using FUS, TDP-43, and C9orf72 models demonstrate that hUPF1 holds significant potential for treating the majority of patients with ALS and ...

Researchers have created a library of genetically engineered fruit flies linked to individual neurons in the nerve cord to characterise the circuits controlling wing motion.

Therefore, our lab uses iPSCs developed for SBMA and ALS8 to dissect the contributions of motor neurons, astrocytes and skeletal muscles for motor neuron diseases ... Cells as a Model System for ...

Motor neurons project from the central nervous system to innervate muscle cells to either directly or indirectly control their activity. Contact between a motor neuron and muscle cell is usually ...

In March, Xiaomi certified the YU7 crossover with 478 miles of range, surpassing the Model Y Long Range. However, the Chinese carmaker added a new single-motor variant to the lineup, boosting the ...

denervation is an early event preceding motor neuron loss in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Progressive loss of the NMJ leads to irreversible muscle weakness and atrophy. Muscle-specific kinase ...

Despite that, some carmakers kept at it and delivered muscle cars that could still hold their own. For the 1970 model year ... that of the 1970 AAR 'Cuda, the motor still delivered a decent ...
