Abstract: Following brain injury or neurodegenerative disease, successful regeneration requires orchestrated migration of neurons and reformation of long‐distance communication fibres, or axons. Such extensive regeneration does not occur in the mature brain; however, during embryonic development,… read more here.

Abstract: Objective Perisynaptic astrocytic processes have been suggested as sites for the regulated release of neuroactive substances. However, very little is known about the molecular properties of regulated exocytosis in these processes. Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive-factor attachment protein… read more here.
