The preliminary data presented in this manuscript seem valuable. The data are currently incomplete and there are numerous technical concerns, some of which may arise from insufficient description of ...

“In this study we proposed an approach to treat the root cause of neural dysfunction, complementing existing neuroprotective treatments with a new approach that reverses nerve cell dysfunction.” SMA ...

Newly discovered brain cells count each bite before sending the order to cease eating a meal. Columbia scientists have found specialized neurons in the brains of mice that order the animals to ...

Five beta testers bring their iPhones and Galaxy devices to mobile dead zones in Alabama, Colorado, and other remote locales to try out texting on SpaceX's cellular Starlink service.

SARS-CoV-2 enters host cells via cell receptor ACE II (ACE2) and the transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2). In order to identify possible prime target cells of SARS-CoV-2 by comprehensive ...

In 2009, Jonathan Weissman was hunting for a new way to spy on what happens inside a cell. In particular, the molecular cell biologist wanted to know what proteins are produced at any given moment.

These cells coordinate bodily functions and movement quickly, often without intentional thought. They also can be affected differently by health conditions. Talk with your healthcare provider if you ...

The work, which was done in mice, also shows these specialized T cells play a role in nerve-cell development and memory formation. The findings shed light on brain immunity and could pave the way to ...

Our nerve cells, or neurons, communicate by sending fast electrical signals called action potentials. These signals always begin in a specific part of the neuron known as the axon initial segment (AIS ...

Jan. 31, 2024 — To rapidly transmit electrical signals in the brain, the long nerve fibers are insulated by specialized cells called oligodendrocytes. These cells also respond to the electrical ...
