The condition is usually caused by mutations in a gene called SMN1, which contains instructions for how to make a protein called survival motor neuron (SMN) protein.

iAssembloids combine hiPSC-derived neurons, microglia, and astrocytes in 3D spheres. CRISPRi screening revealed genes that affect neuron survival in iAssembloids but not in 2D monoculture. One gene, ...

Online evolution of the neuron activation meme Although the exact paper that the diagram comes from is unknown, it’s presumed to have been published prior to 2016. Video game writer Celia Wagar ...

In a circuit, it could be analogous to the states of the voltage-gated sodium channel in a neuron model. Notably, at 4.15 eV (electron affinity), BBL could sustain high doping levels.

Upper motor neuron lesions can have a variety of causes spanning physical trauma, illness, and vitamin deficiency. Several of the most common causes of upper motor neuron lesions include: ...
