For example, some motor neurons in the spinal cord have ... by fusion of the apposed inner leaflets of the plasma membrane in glial cells, with no intervening cytoplasm (Figure 1B).

Neurons are cells that act as the brain's fundamental building blocks, transmitting information through electrical signals.

Further analysis of the cultured LMNs showed that in addition to maintaining ALS cellular markers, the LMNs had reduced survival rates compared with healthy cells, mimicking ALS motor neuron ...

They discovered in human stem cell models of MND, the axon - the long part of the motor neuron cell that connects to the muscle - was shorter than in healthy cells. And the movement of the ...
