Regulator of chromosome structure crucial to healthy brain function and nerve development Cohesin protein identified as key to control of chromosome structure underlying nerve cell network ...

For the first time, neuroscientists from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence (currently in the process of being established) have ...

The study shows that an enzyme which usually controls the destruction of protein components has an unexpected function in nerve cells: it controls the structure of the cytoskeleton and thus ...

Nerve cells (neurons) in the human brain, for instance, can be as old as the organism, even up to more than a century, and must function for a lifetime.

The hippocampus is an important brain region known to support various cognitive (i.e., mental) processes, including the ...

The nerve cell must target each of them to distinct synaptic sites that oppose incoming nerve cell contacts that release the correct transmitter to activate that receptor type.

Researchers have discovered an essential mechanism for the maintenance of the normal structure of myelin, the protective covering that insulates and supports nerve cells (neurons).

In a collaboration with Stanford University, nerve cells have now been introduced into spherical cage structures using acoustic bioprinting technology, so that multicellular nerve tissue can ...

A group of nerve cells known for their role in detecting chemical irritation, tissue damage, heat, and pressure now emerge as critical defenders against the worst ravages of the flu caused by an ...

Scientists used 3D-printed scaffolds and stem cells to regrow nerve fibers across severed spinal cords in rats, restoring ...

Researchers have shown how psychedelic drugs physically change the structure of brain cells, a change that can have surprising benefits for patients with anxiety or depression ...
