Specifically, the researchers found that intersectin keeps tiny, message-carrying bubbles inside brain cells in a particular ...

A microneedle patch captures cancer biomarkers in the top-most layer of skin to detect melanoma in animal tissue samples ...

At Texas A&M AgriLife Research, a new branch of brain science is blooming at the molecular scale—with nanoflowers.

Can alcohol be good for you? Much evidence would argue yes. Compare “moderate” drinkers who have perhaps one glass of wine a ...

The potential for these kinds of machines to reshape computer processing, increase energy efficiency, and revolutionize ...

I T IS HARD to overstate the importance of sleep. Regular hours of rest offer organisms of all sizes a chance to consolidate ...

A new laboratory study shows that a single serving of the popular sweetener erythritol impacts cells in ways that could constrict blood vessels and impair the body's ability to bust up clots ...

Characterization of intracellular synapse heterogeneity aides to understand the intricate computational logic of neuronal circuits. Despite recent advances in connectomics, the spatial patterns of ...

To get to synapses — the place where two cells meet to pass information between them — they move. If you view live mitochondria with a microscope, you can see them zipping around and stopping at the ...

How does the brain store knowledge so that you actually remember what you have learned the next day or even later? To find out, researchers at the University of Oslo disconnected one type of nerve ...

Cancer cells steal energy-generating parts from nerve cells to fuel their spread to distant sites, a discovery that could improve treatments against the deadliest tumours.
