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

UBC researchers have discovered a new type of neuron that plays a fundamental role in recognition memory—how the brain ...

Kenai Therapeutics, a biotechnology company leveraging induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology to discover and develop a platform of off-the-s ...

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' ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

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 ...
