Regulation of Axon termination – Mechanism Behind Neuron Development
Researchers at Scripps Institute have discovered the new understanding of how neuron termination is regulated Researchers at Scripps Institute have revealed the mechanism of neuron development. The termination of a neuron is really important for the efficient and accurate construction of a nervous system, without controlled termination, the nervous system will in serious jeopardy. Neurons are the specialized cells of…
