Researchers have created over 400 distinct types of human nerve cells in vitro, vastly expanding the diversity available for ...

Nerves look blue in the reconstructed view of a genetically engineered mouse (left) whose neurons produce a fluorescent ...

Although most cells are so tiny that they can only be seen through a microscope there are some important differences ... Some ...

Prognosis: Removal typically cures the cancer. Most SCCs are slow-growing, though this type of skin cancer is more likely to grow deeper into the skin and spread. If SCCs spread to other organs, ...

CHANCES ARE, ONE out of five of you reading this will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the time you hit age 70. As the most ...

Marijuana-like endocannabinoids produced by your own body—how do they travel through the brain? It turns out that these fatty ...

Researchers face significant challenges when attempting to observe structures as small as the tubes forming the cytoskeleton of cells, with a diameter of only seven nanometers. Similarly, the synaptic ...

Cultivated nerve stem cells seen through a microscope. It takes immature stem cells one to two weeks to grow into nerve stem cells and a month for nerve stem cells become neurons.

Technological advancements and increasing research initiatives in cell biology and neurology are creating opportunities to bolster demand in the super-resolution microscopes market. In addition, ...

Then, they identified all synapses between the two nerve cells under the electron microscope. They correlated the size of these synapses with the synaptic impulses they had measured previously.

For a long time, only the human brain seemed to be able to reliably recognize and track the parts and connections of nerve cells in electron microscope images. For example, people still had to work ...

In a study published in Current Biology, a team of engineers and neuroscientists have collaborated to create 3D videos of individual nerve cells functioning inside fruit fly larvae as they move. These ...
