Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

Researchers are making ever more sophisticated mini organs in the lab — and now they can grow their own blood vessels. The ...

This important study presents a new method for longitudinally tracking cells in two-photon imaging data that addresses the specific challenges of imaging neurons in the developing cortex. It provides ...

At the heart of our cells, a previously unknown structure has just been identified, shedding new light on essential ...

Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living ...

Even after decades of research, biologists are still uncovering surprises about the human body. A team of researchers from ...

That extra step, however, might hold a key for better understanding certain genetic conditions, many of which stem from ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders ...

Unlike other cellular sub-structures (for example, the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum), the synapse does not possess an enclosing membrane to aid in compartmentalization.

Other non-cellular structures of chimerism, e.g. extracellular vesicles (EVs), are increasingly recognized as modulators of pregnancy outcome and offspring’s health. We here discuss the origin, ...

Scientists use a multimodal approach that combines hard X-ray computed tomography and X-ray fluorescence imaging to see the structure and chemical processes inside of a single cell.

It is geometry. L. olor’s behavior is encoded in its cytoskeletal structure, just like human behavior is encoded in neural circuits. “This is the first example of cellular origami,” Prakash ...
