Neurons Radiating

Caption

Mouse neurons are shown with the cell bodies in the center and long tendrils radiating outward. Valeria Cavalli, PhD, of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, used such neurons to study how cells regrow after injury. Her findings could one day lead to better treatments for spinal cord injury.
