Scientists have uncovered how a newly discovered gene, NEK1, in which mutations have been linked to ALS cases, disrupts the function of the motor neuron and causes it to degenerate and die.

These aggregates eventually lead to cell death. However, knowledge of how the abnormal aggregates affect hippocampal neuron structure and function in Parkinson's and DLB before cell death is lacking.

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center scientists show that key accessory cells actively guide neuron function by pruning at critical nerve cell regions. Changing this process in worms alters their ...
