Πώς τα ''σκοτεινά'' χαρακτηριστικά αναδιαμορφώνουν την ομιλία

Neurons are the largest and most long-lived class of cells, necessitating specialized mechanisms for their survival, growth and maintenance. Axons are the longest extensions of a neuron, reaching lengths of meters in large mammals, and therefore pose a unique challenge for growth and maintenance. This EMBO | Company of Biologists Workshop aims to highlight the most recent advances on understanding the mechanisms involved in regulating axons by centering each session on a shared mechanistic theme - comparing and contrasting the roles of that mechanism in axonal growth and regeneration on one hand, and maintenance and regeneration on the other. By bringing together regeneration and degeneration talks around shared mechanistic themes for each session, we hope to facilitate cross-talk and new interactions and collaborations.
