The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals, while the latter support and protect ...

Autophagy is the process by which cells remove damaged proteins, recycle worn-out organelles (e.g., mitochondria), clear ...

All cells, whether big or small, short or long, rely on proteins to function properly. In most cells, transporting these proteins is relatively simple. Neurons in the brain, however, face a ...

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain's neurons has a kind of 'molecular memory', which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories. The researchers have ...

A paper by researchers in the Department of Mathematics that could impact the way neuron-to-neuron communications are mapped was recently published in the Nature journal Communications Physics. The ...

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 ...

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

Tole combines ultrasound and AI to improve motor neuron disease diagnosis, reducing reliance on invasive procedures.
