Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them—signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces—in a process known as endocytosis that is essential ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, ...

Our brains age along with the rest of our bodies, and as they do, they produce fewer new brain cells. Now, researchers have ...

Breakthrough research from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine is revealing how immune cells in the adult brain can regulate the generation of new neurons. The study, recently published ...

Researchers at the University of Missouri School of Medicine may have found a link between high blood pressure and an overactive sympathetic nervous system.

Johns Hopkins researchers are building a high-speed imaging system to capture brain signals 50 times faster than current tools—revealing the "hidden" neural processes that drive neurological disorders ...

A new study, recently published in the journal Nature Communications, is leading to a new understanding of how immune cells can influence adult neurogenesis, the process of creating new neurons in the ...

Immunotherapy that blocks microglial Fcγ receptors prevents dopaminergic neuron loss in Parkinson’s disease, revealing a potential new strategy.

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka report the development of two fluorescent indicators, Gachapin and Gachapin-C, that can be used to monitor ...
