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

New research details the subcellular structures in neurons that enable signals to be transmitted from where they are received at specific sites on dendrites to the decision-making cell body located ...

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 ...

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers found that the neuronal energy conservation program determines the location and ...

The model calculations in the present study show that proteins are therefore preferably synthesized in the branched, tapering ...

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

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 ...

It is possible that the toxic effects of NFTs may partly arise from the relatively large size of the fibrillary material that accumulates inside the neurons, as this material may pose a direct ...
