The development of the nervous system has so far, to a large extent, been considered in the
context of biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics. However, there is growing …

The fundamentals of neuronal membrane excitability are globally described using the
Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) model. The HH model, however, does not account for a number of …

Study Design Literature Review (Narrative) Objective To propose a new framework, to
support the investigation and understanding of the pathobiology of DCM, AO Spine …

Stretchable synaptic transistors (SSTs) are of paramount importance for the development of
soft machines and neuromorphic systems. Unfortunately, the reports about SSTs are very …

Neurons in the brain communicate with each other at their synapses. It has long been
understood that this communication occurs through biochemical processes. Here, we reveal …

It has long been known that neuronal axons are contractile. They actively maintain rest
tension along the longitudinal direction both in vitro and in vivo. Here we show evidence that …

The ability of cells to regulate their shape and volume is critical for many cell functions. How
endocytosis and exocytosis, as important ways of membrane trafficking, affect cellular …

The axon is a sophisticated macromolecular machine composed of interrelated parts that
transmit signals like spur gears transfer motion between parallel shafts. The growth cone is a …

To achieve proper synaptic development and function, coordinated signals must pass
between the pre-and postsynaptic membranes. Such transsynaptic signals can be …

Actin, spectrin, and associated molecules form a membrane-associated periodic skeleton
(MPS) in neurons. The molecular composition and functions of the MPS remain incompletely …
