Few specific therapeutic targets exist to manage brain injury, despite the prevalence of stroke or traumatic brain injury. With traumatic brain injury, characteristic neuronal changes include axonal ...

Protocadherins, a subfamily within the cadherin superfamily, are fundamental to the precise organisation of neural circuits. They contribute to cell adhesion mechanisms that underlie synaptic ...

Cell adhesion molecule L1, a key member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, plays a pivotal role in the development and maintenance of the nervous system. Its functions extend from guiding neuronal ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, identifying two molecules that must be present before ...

It was no more than 20 years ago that biologists believed that cell adhesion molecules were simply the glue of life, the stuff that served to hold cells and ligaments and everything together. Since ...
