Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny cells inside the body's smallest blood vessels may be a powerful spinal cord repair strategy, new research suggests. In mouse experiments, scientists introduced ...

Neurons are specialized cells of the nervous system that communicate using electrical signals, which propagate down long, wire-like projections called axons. The conduction of these signals requires ...

An axon is the part of a neuron that sends a signal to other cells. Axons extend from the cell body to contact other cells, generally forming synapses between the two cells. These axons can be very ...
