This highlights the different neuronal pathway finding mechanisms observed ... branching of axons Diffusible protein: secreted to work locally, as a gradient to work long distance, or membrane ...
Until now, treatments have involved blocking the protein in question that builds a so-called signalling pathway, but now the researchers show that by instead doing the opposite and activating the ...
