Researchers at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke have discovered that boosting the transport of mitochondria along neuronal axons enhances the ability of mouse nerve cells to repair themselves after injury. (sciencedaily.com)
The HMS study reveals that the aberrant behavior of an enzyme called RIPK1 damages neuronal axons by disrupting the production of myelin, the soft gel - like substance enveloping axons to insulate them from injury. (sciencedaily.com)
She is a recognized leader in the field, especially for her use of in vivo imaging methods to study the mechanisms controlling neuronal axon growth. (news.wisc.edu)
