Nerve cell stretchiness uncovered From the page: "US scientists may have discovered why long nerve cells do not break when you move or stretch your limbs. Experiments in worms showed that when a protein called beta spectrin is missing, nerve cells are brittle and break, leading to paralysis. The finding may help to explain why people with a condition called spinocerebellar ataxia progressively lose co-ordination and movement."
