A new computational study led by University at Buffalo scientists and published April 21 in Biophysical Journal sheds light ...

Researchers debunk what science believed about brain cell structure for 100 years, finding axons form repeating pearl-like ...

From the fluid mosaic model to tight junctions, cell membranes are the ultimate gatekeepers of life. They manage what comes in and out, maintain balance, and even signal to other cells. Understanding ...

In mouse brain cells, and in follow-up work involving worms and human cortical neurons, the team found that many axons ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought. The ...

Scientists at Durham University, working in partnership with Jagiellonian University in Poland, have developed a new ...

Degeneration of retinal ganglion cells can cause irreversible vision loss. Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) could, in theory, be ...
