Apart from respiratory symptoms, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causal agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, causes neurological symptoms, ...

Researchers found that inhibiting GSK-3 led to less defects in the axonal transport process and less neuronal cell death, while inhibiting ERK1 led to more transport problems and more cell death. A ...

Axons surrounding amyloid plaques swell, but what goes wrong inside, and with what consequences, remains murky. Using high-resolution imaging techniques, scientists led by Jaime Grutzendler at Yale ...
