The researchers behind the recent work, based in China, decided to implement something similar for an artificial skin that ...

Medically reviewed by Nicholas R. Metrus, MD Key Takeaways Neurons are cells that transmit electrical signals through the ...

Neurons are famously fragile, yet some injured cells manage to hang on, stabilize, and even reconnect. That quiet resilience ...

A new study suggests that how neurons process energy may determine whether they resist damage or begin to break down.

Neurons can rapidly rebalance their communication using a structural signal rather than electrical activity, overturning long-held assumptions about how synapses maintain stability.

The typical job of the proteasome, the garbage disposal of the cell, is to grind down proteins into smaller bits and recycle some of those bits and parts. That's still the case, for the most part, but ...

New research shows that neurons can stabilize their signaling using a fast, physical mechanism — not the electrical activity ...

The intricate bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain, known as the Gut-Brain Axis (GBA), is fundamental to human physiology and ...

Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous system. They help support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the nervous ...

New research shows sea urchins possess a brain-like body system. Their nervous network is spread throughout, rather than centralised in one area. This challenges traditional ideas about how complex ...
