New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical energy through constant motion in their membranes, offering a fresh way to think ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered that targeting a specific immune process ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

Researchers have determined that condensates are electrically charged droplets that can induce voltage changes across the ...

A paper published today in the journal Cell Reports Medicine offers new hope for an Alzheimer’s drug that doesn’t just slow cognitive decline but may reverse it. The study, by researchers at the ...

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report the successful creation of artificial synaptic vesicles that can be remotely controlled by near-infrared (NIR) ...

In a major brain science breakthrough, New Orleans-based researchers and collaborators have discovered a nerve signaling mechanism that takes place outside the cell, flipping on a 'pain switch.' This ...

A research team from the University of Cologne has shown how zebrafish can rebuild their nerve pathways and restore their locomotor function after a spinal cord injury. Specialized connective tissue ...

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells. “Mimicking the behaviour of biological neurons ...

Lineage Cell Therapeutics has found an experienced hearing loss partner to advance a potentially novel transplant for auditory neurons. William Demant Invest, the largest shareholder of Danish hearing ...

The fibers of the vagus nerve have many crucial roles. The vagus nerve helps regulate many physical functions including controlling heart rate and speech; it is related to the feeling of satiety after ...
