Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly ...

Neurons carry vital signals all over our body, and the nervous system controls many crucial functions, from breathing to ...

Scientists have uncovered evidence supporting a mechanism in which transposable elements (TEs), once considered ...

Researchers say findings may have relevance to understanding cell biological pathways that contribute to nerve repair after ...

The brain contains many cell types, from the prominent neurons to the lesser-known microglia. The latter are integral to the brain's immune system and play a crucial role as the brain's cleanup crew.

Hibernation causes rapid, reversible structural changes in squirrel neurons, offering new avenues for human stroke recovery.

A clearance mechanism involving microglia has been known to relieve neurons of toxic protein aggregates such as those associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately, this ...
