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

Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells alive and functioning. When cells experience stress—such as lack of nutrients ...

Marine animals, such as the extremely simple flatworm Trichoplax, are ideal model organisms for studying the early ...

The activity of certain neurons may influence our endurance for exercise, and these could be targeted to help us run faster ...

Researchers uncover dynamic “dancing” molecules in spinal cord organoids, offering insights into neural development and ...

A surprisingly small detail in the skin may play an outsized role in how young skin looks and how well it repairs scars. Researchers say the clue is a microscopic structure found in humans, pigs, and ...

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 ...

Machine learning is helping neuroscientists organize vast quantities of cells’ genetic data in the latest neurobiological cartography effort.

3D bioprinting, in which living tissues are printed with cells mixed into soft hydrogels, or "bio-inks," is widely used in ...

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.
