To correctly transfer information, neuronal networks need to continuously adjust their
synaptic strength to extrinsic stimuli. This ability, termed synaptic plasticity, is at the heart of …

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most prevalent neuromuscular disease worldwide.
It is a lethal and progressive neurodegenerative disease, principally affecting motor …

Puberty marks numerous physiological processes which are initiated by central activation of
the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis, followed by development of secondary sexual …

Proper microtubule dynamics are critical for neuronal morphogenesis and functions, and
their dysregulation results in neurological disorders and regeneration failure. Superior …

Neuronal dendrites are highly branched and specialized compartments with distinct
structures and secretory organelles (eg, spines, Golgi outposts), and a unique cytoskeletal …

Puberty marks a transition period, which leads to the attainment of adult sexual maturity.
Timing of puberty is a strongly heritable trait. However, large genetic association studies can …

Myosin VI is an actin-based cytoskeletal motor implicated in various steps of membrane
trafficking. Here, we investigated whether this myosin is crucial for synaptic function and …

Research on neural stem cells (NSCs) has recently focused on microRNAs (miRNAs), a
class of small non‑coding RNAs that have crucial roles in regulating NSC proliferation and …

TRIP6, a member of the ZYXIN-family of LIM domain proteins, is a focal adhesion
component. Trip6 deletion in the mouse, reported here, reveals a function in the brain …

We have previously postulated that unconventional myosin VI (MVI) could be involved in
myoblast differentiation. Here, we addressed the mechanism (s) of its involvement using …
