A clinical trial is underway testing a new type of therapy its developer says addresses damage to nerve cells associated with a number of neurological disorders.

Damaged neurons repair #axons, but it wasn't clear whether the axons of damaged ciliated #neurons in #insects could also recover. Melissa Rolls & colleagues have discovered that insect ciliated neurons do recover, even if the axon is severed close to the cell body, and they use the same mechanism for recovery as conventional neurons

#Nerve #cells communicate with one another via long processes known as #axons and #dendrites, or, more generally, neurites. During development, these processes first grow and form connections with other cells

Microscopy opens up a world of wonders. While the technology gets ever more sophisticated, the basic principals of lenses and concentrated light remain. Here is a picture of a neural stem cell colony, shooting off extensions called neurites, as the stem cells decide to become neurons and connect. #axons #development #neuroscience #cytoskeleton

#introduction. I am a neuro/cell/dev biologist investigating how the delicate meter-long slender processes of neurons, i.e. the #axons that form the cables wiring our nervous system, can be maintained for a century (or fail in neurodegeneration). As an efficient strategy, I use genetics and neurons of the fruitfly #Drosophila able to deal with the enormous complexity at play (image). For many years I have engaged in #scicomm promoting the importance of fly research (https://poppi62.wordpress.com/publications/)
