Neurons Able to “Talk” Cannot Regenerate Adult neurons of the central nervous system do not regenerate if they are damaged, for example following a spinal cord injury. A study by DZNE researchers published in the scientific journal “Neuron” provides evidence

Frank Bradke awarded “Carl Zeiss Lecture”
Prof. Frank Bradke, research group leader at DZNE and a professor at the University of Bonn, will give this year’s “Carl Zeiss Lecture”. With this award, which has been presented since 1990, the German Society for Cell Biology (DGZ) recognizes outstanding
Read moreAG Bradke published an article about axon regeneration and astrocyte reactivity after CNS injury
An inhibitory extracellular milieu and neuron-intrinsic processes prevent axons from regenerating in the adult central nervous system (CNS). Here we show how the two aspects are interwoven. Genetic loss-of-function experiments determine that the small GTPase RhoA relays extracellular inhibitory signals to the cytoskeleton by adapting mechanisms

Bonn/Germany, October 31, 2019. During embryonic development, nerve cells form thin, long extensions, which they use to wire up a complex network, the brain. Scientists from the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) in Bonn have now identified a protein
