New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals ...

From stars to needles to amorphous globs, scientists are demystifying a snowflake’s complex construction, showing how factors such as temperature can influence their shape.

Published in Nature Communications, the study describes how two key proteins allow glial cells to actively monitor the hair-like cilia that extend out of nematode dendrites, so that the glial ...

Some snowflakes have very simple shapes, but others, like dendrite snowflakes, have lots of different patterns. The name dendrite means tree-like, because they look like they have branches ...
