The central nervous system (CNS) is an immune-privileged site with tightly-regulated immune responses, a concept proposed by Nobel Laureate Sir Peter Medawar in 1960. Under physiological conditions, only a few T lymph...

Unlike the peripheral nervous system (PNS), the central nervous system (CNS) has a low intrinsic regenerative capacity and has mechanisms that actively suppress axon regrowth, for example, glial scarring and myelin in...

Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) mediate diverse cellular processesin various tissues, including the central nervous system (CNS)and thus require robust and delicate regulatory mechanisms. Itis now known that IGF si...
Highlight Semaphorin 3A is a classically known axonal guidance cue that mediates axonal growth cone repulsion and collapse.Recent works,however,suggest that it may have the apparently diametrically opposite activity o...

Following injury to the central nervous system(CNS),severed axons fail to regenerate and re-form functional connections.Accordingly,CNS neurons appear to lack the intrinsic ability to modify their gene expression pa...
Delivering therapeutics to the central nervous system(CNS) and brain-tumor has been a major challenge. The current standard treatment approaches for the brain-tumor comprise of surgical resection followed by immunot...

In the central nervous system(CNS),cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP)plays a critical role in numerous,often concurrent,neuronal functions including survival,growth,differentiation and synaptogenesis.
