New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals ...

Quantum computers process multiple possibilities at once, unlike traditional computers. Quantum properties like entanglement ...

A joint research team from the LKS Faculty of Medicine (HKUMed) and the Faculty of Science at the University of Hong Kong has uncovered an unexpected interaction between chemotherapeutic agents and a ...

In their study published in Nature Communications, researchers identified an unusual type of brain cell they named “ovoid ...

Researchers at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus have systematically detailed, step by step, how cognitive maps form in the ...

New research provides direct evidence that the gut microbiome communicates with the brain through the vagus nerve.

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

The long tail of a sperm cell, the finger-like cilia in the lungs, and the long axons of nerves are all built with microtubules—basic building blocks of the cell’s cytoskeleton. These structures are a ...

The magnetoencephalography scanner used in the new research collects magnetic signals produced in the cortex as brain neurons fire. But it is large and expensive and needs to be operated in a ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

Scientists develop groundbreaking dual-action drug RI-AG03 that targets toxic tau proteins in Alzheimer's disease, showing ...
