The hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is the master clock responsible for controlling circadian rhythms in mammals 1.These rhythmic cycles generated by the SCN are entrained to the ...

Scientists have found DNA in the nucleus of brain cells, where it shouldn’t be. Bits of genes that typically reside in mitochondria insert themselves at unexpectedly high rates into brain cells ...

A research group has developed a technology for mass-producing uniform artificial cells (lipid bilayer vesicles) with artificial model nuclei using microfluidic devices with high reproducibility.

These artificial cells with model nuclei are expected to provide additional functions such as molecular recognition and environmental response, ...

Caltech researchers have developed a new method to map the positions of hundreds of DNA-associated proteins within cell nuclei all at the same time. The method, called ChIP–DIP (Chromatin ...

In a retrospective cohort study, Mahmoudinezhad and colleagues examined whether the rate of ganglion cell complex (GCC) thinning is associated with the rate of central visual field loss in 202 ...

Within the eye, input from thousands of receptors cascades up to ON and OFF ganglion cells, which act as modules to specifically detect light and shadows, respectively.

For the first time, non-neuronal cells have been induced to mimic specific ganglion cells in the eyes of mice. While fish, reptiles and even some birds can regenerate damaged brain, eye and spinal ...
