Expert-reviewed interactive signaling pathways providing current overviews of the regulation of actin and microtubule dynamics, as well as links to products from CST.
There are a number of markers that can be used to distinguish the many cell types of the central and peripheral nervous system during development, adult neurogenesis, and the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders.
A broad range of techniques are used to study neurodegenerative diseases including basic cellular and molecular protocols, ELISA, electrophysiological assessments, and imaging-based methods that utilize antibody-based technology.
The ESC and Lineage Markers diagram provides an overview of ESC differentiation along lineage-specific pathways and links to products from CST.
Neuroinflammation is the activation of an immune response in the CNS by the microglia and astrocytes. While not linked mechanistically to neurodegenerative diseases, neuroinflammation is associated with the progression of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's
Tau is a microtubule-associated protein found in neurons, and its function is to stabilize axonal microtubules. Hyperphosphorylated tau is a hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease.
