New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

New research details the subcellular structures in neurons that enable signals to be transmitted from where they are received at specific sites on dendrites to the decision-making cell body located ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

Scientists have translated nanoscale experimental and computational data into precise 3D representations of bacteria, yeast ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals ...

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

The pleura (plural: pleurae) is a two-layered membrane that covers the lung ... Pleural fluid is secreted by the specialized cells in the pleura called mesothelial cells. The fluid allows the layers ...

really important to maintain any structure which has a membrane," Singh said. Take the electrolyte potassium, for example. It is the most abundant positively charged ion inside cells, but its ...

According to precedent and due to his status, Yoon will probably be assigned a solitary cell, likely bigger and better appointed than the standard 6.56 square metre (71 square feet) single cells.

That is why a team of scientists from the Henry Royce Institute is 3D printing bone structures to study different forms of cancer. The aim is to see how cancer cells evolve in an environment that ...

This important study presents genome-wide high-resolution chromatin-based 3D genomic interaction maps for over 50 diverse human cell types and integrates these data with pediatric obesity GWAS. The ...
