The establishment and maintenance of neuronal identity are critically dependent on a finely tuned interplay between transcription factors and the epigenetic landscape. Central to this network is the ...

New study by Chiba University, Japan in collaboration with Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, uncovers novel enhancer-promoter interactions that regulate gene expression during neuronal differentiation ...

Cell adhesion molecule L1, a key member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, plays a pivotal role in the development and maintenance of the nervous system. Its functions extend from guiding neuronal ...

Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

The Wistar Institute's Alessandro Gardini, Ph.D., and lab have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular "bridge" ...

In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted manner. Despite decades of research, how synapses form during brain development ...

The brain's mechanisms for repairing injuries caused by trauma or degenerative diseases are not yet known in detail. Now, a study by the University of Barcelona describes a new strategy based on stem ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a multifaceted neurodevelopmental condition with substantial individual and societal impact. Prevalence estimates vary by ...
