The thyroid, a vital endocrine organ in vertebrates, plays a key role in regulating metabolism and supporting growth. The ...

In 1894, the neuron doctrine was established. Researchers Santiago Ramón y Cajal and Camillo Golgi (who based their research ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

The brain's health depends on more than just its neurons. A complex network of blood vessels and immune cells acts as the ...

The brain’s health depends on more than just its neurons. A complex network of blood vessels and immune cells acts as the brain’s dedicated guardians—controlling what enters, cleaning up waste, and ...

Scientists discovered that telocytes in the gut send precise, neuron-like signals to intestinal stem cells via cytonemes. This rewrites long-held views of how the gut repairs itself and could lead to ...

Novel method reveals glucose channeling, charting the fine structure of energy metabolism inside active cells by Alexandra Scammell, Vanderbilt University ...

Researchers in the UK have received approval to conduct the first ever human trials for a stem cell treatment to reverse hearing loss.

For a peripheral nerve to regenerate, it must maintain communication between the neuron's cell body and its long extension—the axon—which in humans can reach more than a meter in length.

The team found that targeting a certain enzyme helped to restore neuron and cell communication in mice ... APP When there is too much LRRK2 activity, it changes the structure of the brain cells, ...
