Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial ...

Kenai Therapeutics, a biotechnology company leveraging induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology to discover and ...

Take a look around your home and you'll find yourself surrounded by familiar comforts—photos of family and friends on the ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...

Using single-cell RNA sequencing of mouse colonic sensory neurons, we describe a comprehensive framework for the molecular basis of visceral sensation from the colorectum. We identify seven distinct ...

An increase in high-fat, high-fructose foods in people's diets has contributed to a dramatic increase in type 2 diabetes.

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible ...

Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous ... by which these crucial supporting players detect and respond to neuron damage. Published in Nature Communications, the study describes ...
