Effective axon regeneration is critical for restoring nerve function in patients with axon injury-related neurological diseases, yet adult mammals show limited regenerative capacity in central axonal ...

A new study in zebrafish reveals that the gene nexmifb—a paralog of the human neurodevelopmental gene NEXMIF—plays a critical role in spinal motor neuron development by modulating the axon guidance ...

Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect, which ...

Summary: A milestone neuro-regenerative study has shattered a long-standing medical dogma by proving that “irreversible” damage to the connections between the human brain and spinal cord can be ...
