When faced with the same evidence, each individual can reach a different decision. How billions of specialized cells make split-second choices has largely been an open research question. In a new ...

Cells have surface receptors that couple with proteins and other molecules to initiate or inhibit certain behaviors. Typically, the number of these receptors increases as the cell matures, but ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

A neuron made in the lab now works almost like one in the body. A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has announced the creation of an artificial neuron with electrical ...

A mammalian brain is a complex network of tens of millions neurons and supporting cells that work together to carry out its functions 1,2. Cataloging brain-wide neuron types is a way to understand the ...

While early in life, the accumulation of iron appears to have little effect on neuron function, later in life, it can ...

Researchers modeled long-term iron accumulation in neurons and identified chronoferroptosis. Chronic exposure reduced ...

An early burst of GPR3 activity helps convert short-term cellular signals into long-term programs that support neuron growth, ...

ALS is characterized by progressive motor neuron degeneration, typically leading to paralysis and death 2–5 years after diagnosis 1. Neurodegeneration in ALS is both cell type-specific and ...

In a key advance for regenerative medicine and gut health, scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered a precise and ...
