Textbooks say that mitochondria exist to supply cells with energy, but experiments in fruit flies suggest they are also ...

Ancient bacteria that have evolved to become integral to our cells—converting nutrients from food into energy—may also ...

A Bayesian decoder was employed to calculate the posterior probabilities of all position bins. This method assumes that transient counts follow a Poisson distribution and combines transient counts and ...

Cells called astrocytes are about as abundant in the brain as neurons, but scientists have spent much less time figuring out ...

A stem-cell-based "organ-on-a-chip" model of ALS mimics early biological changes seen in the degenerative disease.

Researchers have observed a mechanism in the brain that may ‘pump the brakes’ on acute pain to prevent overload while not inhibiting chronic pain at all.

Partners are becoming concerned about the FCAS overshooting the 2045 deadline, as bids for the Phase 2, which will produce a ...

Once dismissed as “junk,” a group of RNA molecules has been found to help regrow damaged nerves in mice in new research. The ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far ...

Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

Fainzilber’s lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that a family of hundreds of RNA molecules with no known physiological function is essential to nerve regeneration. Remarkably, the ...

Implantable bioelectronics are vital to neuroscience, neurological therapies, and brain-machine interfaces. They serve as indispensable interfaces that enable the communication between biological ...
