A newly discovered link between pancreatic cancer and neural signaling reveals a promising drug target that slows tumor ...

Neurons stochastically generated up to eight different versions of a protein regulating neurotransmitter release, which could vary how they communicate with other cells. Neurons are talkers. They each ...

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest types of tumors. A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) reports that pancreatic tumors exploit the body's nervous system by forming so-called ...

The Noelin family of secreted proteins bind to the external portion of AMPA glutamate receptors and stabilize them on the neuronal cellular membrane, a process necessary for transmission of ...

Examining the development autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disabilities, Alzheimer’s disease, and epilepsy via neurotransmitter receptors and synapses. Peter Juo’s lab is focused on how ...

The latticework of extracellular protein that surrounds brain cells forms a particularly dense mesh around fast-spiking interneurons. Why do these cells need such thick coats? In the July 17 Nature ...
