New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...

and determine cell-autonomy of gene action. The cellular and molecular mechanisms that ensure the elaborate connection and function of the nervous system can then be dissected with single neuron ...

A breakthrough study published today in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of ...
