A new study reveals that astrocytes, star-shaped brain cells in the striatum, are key players in how obesity alters brain function and metabolism.

Fatty diets and obesity affect the structure and function of astrocytes1, the star-shaped brain cells located in the striatum, a brain region involved ...

The 6-hour duration was sufficient for better oil extraction and higher yields using hexane as the apolar solvent. Generally speaking, the solvent extraction process is very efficient, especially for ...

How immune cells in the brain coordinate their work Infections in the brain can have serious consequences and are often fatal. The immune defence system works differently here than in the rest of the ...

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...
