Study by FAU and Uniklinikum Erlangen paves the way for cryopreservation of neural tissue
PNAS-Paper on cryopreservation of brain tissue highlighted in Nature Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and Uniklinikum Erlangen have succeeded in preserving brain tissue through extreme deep freezing. After thawing, the neurons began exchanging electrical signals again. The procedure could be used, for example, to preserve brain tissue removed during surgery so that it can be […]PNAS-Paper on cryopreservation of brain tissue highlighted in Nature Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and Uniklinikum Erlangen have succeeded in preserving brain tissue through extreme deep freezing.

02.06.2025 Neurons with large arbors are often more vulnerable to neurodegenerative processes. Using Drosophila as a model for neurodegenerative disorders, we show that inflammatory cytokine signaling induced by the integrated stress response is a key determinant of axon length–dependent vulnerability to synapse loss. Neuron-derived inflammatory signals activate glia which preferentially target the synaptic domains of […]02.06.2025 Neurons with large arbors are often more vulnerable to neurodegenerative processes.
