New findings reveal that certain areas of the brain influence how neurons transmit signals and control their range.

Signaling is fundamental to how cells sense and respond to their environment—but in immune cells, those signals must be precisely amplified to mount an effective defense against invasive threats. New ...

Cells constantly probe their environments, searching for physical cues that guide their behavior. And yet a cell's response ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

They also zoomed in on a key enzyme called ACLY. Think of it as a middleman that helps convert glucose into a form cells can use to grow and divide. By disrupting this enzyme, researchers could see ...

A) Taste tissue of wild-type mice and taste cell synaptic dysfunction mice (SNAP-cKO). In SNAP-cKO mice, the number of sour-sensing cells is reduced. B) Gustatory nerve responses to various taste ...

Left: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) micropatterned on a Gaussian gradient and stained with antibodies for CD81 as red, CD63 as green, and CD9 as blue. Right: EVs micropatterned as the Nazca hummingbird ...

Scientists have discovered how cells decide when to respond to physical forces, potentially opening new avenues for tackling ...

A new study reveals how your gut bacteria can directly tell your brain when to stop eating, opening fresh avenues for appetite and metabolic research. Study: A gut sense for a microbial pattern ...

Patterns of fat metabolism in fibroblasts surrounding the tumor cells direct whether epithelial cancer cells become more ...
