Deep in the folds of the intestine, in microscopic pockets called crypts, a quiet surveillance system is always at work. Stem ...

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue ...

A study on worms led by researchers from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in the US has uncovered a previously unknown adaptation to aging that actively remodels one of the largest and most ...

For decades, scientists have believed that complex life began when two very different microbes joined forces, eventually ...

This study reports an important and novel finding that TENT5A, an enzyme involved in fine-tuning poly(A) tail length on selected mRNAs, is required for proper enamel mineralization in mice. The ...

UC Santa Cruz researchers are exploring how brains learn, adapt, and improve, which could help us better understand and address neurological conditions.

A new ‘pop-up’ device developed by Professor John Rogers lets scientists map and manipulate activity in human neural ...

A detailed annotation of anatomical brain structures (some novel) of the spider Uloborus diversus is provided based on a ...

Scientists at Northwestern University have built what they call the most advanced human spinal cord organoid model yet, using it to test a regenerative therapy that previously reversed paralysis in ...

Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation ...

Age-related changes in protein tagging and degradation may help explain how the brain declines over time and why diet can still influence these processes.

This mini-review synthesises evidence showing that adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing plays an important regulatory role in cardiovascular development, cellular homeostasis, and disease biology. It ...
