Neurons produced from frontotemporal dementia patients' skin biopsies using modern stem cell technology recapitulate the ...

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that help nerve cells (neurons) communicate with one another. These chemical messengers affect the brain by either exciting (stimulating), inhibiting ...

Neurons produced from dementia patients' skin biopsies using stem cell technology recapitulate their synaptic dysfunction.
