Tiny magnetic bacteria that live in tightly bound groups are showing scientists how life might have evolved complex, multicellular forms. These rare bacteria can’t survive alone – they depend on one ...

The phase I clinical trials showed stem cell transplants for Parkinson’s disease appear to be safe and might restore dopamine-producing brain cells.

Specialized cells, such as blood, nerve or muscle cells, do not normally replicate. Stem cells, by contrast, can self-renew over a long period of time. The other thing that sets stem cells apart ...

Taking well over an hour, he carved off 136 paper-thin sections. Allman was searching for a peculiar kind of brain cell that he suspects is a key to how the African elephant—like a human being ...

Scientists have used gene editing to produce artificial electrical synapses in mice, where they can be targeted to make the ...

“The disease affects the nerve cells in both the upper and lower parts of the body. It causes the muscles to become weak and leads to paralysis,” according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Contro ...

In a massive scientific effort, hundreds of researchers have helped to map the connections between hundreds of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain and then overlayed their firing patterns in ...

The Trump administration hasn’t yet delivered huge deportation numbers — but it is using the internet to provide regular ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date.

Apr. 11, 2025 — A multi-institutional team developed a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell-based strategy for specifically targeting AML cells in patients who relapsed following other treatments.

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse’s cerebral cortex involved in vision, an achievement that ...
