With the strong associations established in epidemiologic studies and a dearth of evidence on the actual mechanisms by which ...

This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

Advancements could enhance perceptual capabilities in robotics. Artificially engineered biological processes, such as ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

Antigen processing and presentation is the mechanism by which whole antigens are degraded and loaded onto MHC molecules for display on the cell surface for recognition by T cells. Both macrophages ...

Pyramidal neurons originating from germinal zones migrate along radial glial fibers to their final position in the cortical plate by both radial migration and tangential dispersion. These processes ...

The key advantage is the capability to record and stimulate neurons at multiple sites simultaneously. However, unlike the single-cell or single-channel resolution of intracellular recording, ...
