Molecular Neuroscience: is a division of neuroscience that examines concepts in molecular biology applied to the nervous systems of animals. As with molecular biology, molecular neuroscience is a relatively new field that is considerably dynamic.
The Willerth lab investigates how to engineer neural tissue by combining pluripotent stem cells, controlled drug delivery and biomaterial scaffolds. When generating these replacement tissues,...
Axonal growth and pathfinding is fundamental to the development and regeneration of the nervous system. Src tyrosine kinase has been implicated in this process; however, the detailed molecula...
Synaptic dysfunction and loss caused by age-dependent accumulation of synaptotoxic Amyloid beta (Abeta)1-42 oligomers is proposed to underlie cognitive decline in Alzheimers disease (AD). Syn...
Neuron-glial interactions are increasingly recognized as being key for physiological and pathological processes in the central nervous system. Microglia have been found to play a causal role...
We present a personalized medicine suite of software applications developed at UCSF for multiple sclerosis (MS): the MS Bioscreen. This new tool addresses the challenges of the dynamic manage...
Discrimination against women has typically been attributed to hostile and demeaning stereotypes about womens capabilities. However, a growing body of evidence shows that subjectively positive...
When speaking of neurodegenerative diseases, average public is not made aware of the true cost that brain related disorders have on annual budget. The true impact on economy is not usually...
Dendritic spine shape enables sequestering of subcellular components needed for synaptic plasticity, including polyribosomes for local protein synthesis, smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) to...
Multiple Sclerosis is a debilitating neurodegnerative disease of the central nervous system in which the immune system targets and destroys myelin sheaths surrounding axons. Progressive a...
The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative is part of a new Presidential focus aimed at revolutionizing our understanding of the human brain. By...
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that leads to widespread pathology within the central nervous system (CNS) and is the most common cause of neurologic disability among young a...
Down syndrome (DS) is a complex multi-system disorder affecting more than 5.8 million individuals around the world and it causes significant physical, psychological, and cognitive abnormaliti...
In physical systems built with many components, emergent properties, such as magnetism, are often generated from the interactions among these particles. These emergent properties are often in...
