How to Protect Neurons and Encourage Their Growth Many neurodegenerative conditions, from glaucoma to Alzheimer’s disease, are characterized by injury to axons — the long, slender projections that conduct electrical impulses from one nerve cell to another, facilitating cellular communications. Injury to axons often leads to neuronal impairment and cell death. Researchers know that inhibiting an enzyme called dual leucine zipper kinase (DLK) appears to robustly protect neurons in a wide range of neurodegenerative diseases models, but DLK also inhibits axonal regeneration. Until now, there ...
New clue to protect neurons and encourage their growth found Many neurodegenerative conditions, from glaucoma to Alzheimer's disease, are characterized by injury to axons -; the long, slender projections that conduct electrical impulses from one nerve cell to another, facilitating cellular communications.

Injury to axon can stop neuron growth, says new study Injury to axon can stop neuron growth, says new study Last Updated: Tue, Dec 15th, 2020, 08:14:02hrs California [US], December 15 (ANI): A recent study led by researchers from the University of California - San Diego, has claimed that injury to axons can lead to severe neurodegenerative conditions and also suggested ways to protect it for encouraging neuron growth. A paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), has discovered the injury to that axons- the long, slender projectio...
