Injured axons instruct Schwann cells to build specialized actin spheres to break down and remove axon fragments, thereby starting the regeneration process. Damaged peripheral nerves can regenerate ...

Researchers have found the first receptor that mediates axon death after an injury. Mouse neurons with axons stained in green. Credit: Wikipedia, Swharden Early in an animal’s development, its nervous ...

Like power lines in an electrical grid, long wiry projections that grow outward from neurons - structures known as axons - form interconnected communication networks that run from the brain to all ...

In biology, the nervous system is a highly complex part of an animal that coordinates its actions and sensory information by transmitting signals to and from different parts of its body. The nervous ...
