Hemifusomes are fused vesicles, or sacs of fluid, that were previously unknown to exist inside cells. They were discovered ...

For more than six decades, neuroscientists have wrestled with a fundamental question about the human brain: Do adults ...

At the heart of our cells, a previously unknown structure has just been identified, shedding new light on essential ...

Scientists at the University of Western Australia and the Perron Institute for Neurological and Translational Science have ...

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...

Cancer cells can acquire energy-generating structures called mitochondria from nearby nerve cells, which seems to aid their ...

Cedars-Sinai has created a lifelike model of the mysterious and fatal disease that could help identify a cause of the illness ...

Researchers are developing promising suppression systems for painful conditions—even an app on your phone that turns the pain ...

Even though detection of these drug-induced disruptions of the neuronal membrane is technically challenging, we were able to measure the electrical current fluctuation changes of the disrupted HT22 ...

Neurons are the fundamental building blocks of the brain. They share information through electrical signals. After receiving a stimulus, the neurons are activated via changes in membrane voltage. This ...

Laser-based artificial neuron mimics nerve cell functions at lightning speed With a processing speed a billion times faster than nature, chip-based laser neuron could help advance AI tasks such as ...

This is a valuable manuscript analyzing single-cell RNA-sequencing data from the mouse vomeronasal organ. Convincing evidence in this manuscript allows the authors to identify and verify the ...
