Researchers have identified a unique mitochondrial process in CA2 neurons that supports learning, memory, and social recognition.
A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has identified a key mechanism responsible for endosomal recycling ...
A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed ...
Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...
New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals ...
Enter SynPull, a new synaptosome imaging method developed by David Klenerman, John Danial, and colleagues at the University of Cambridge, England. SynPull combines single-molecule pull-down of ...
Scientists have unlocked the secret world of dark excitons — tiny energy carriers crucial for the future of solar power and ...
Other features of immune cells, like the immunological synapse or the phagocytosis of infected cells are hijacked by HIV-1 and used as gateways to infect target cells. Finally, HIV-1 reuses its ...
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 ...
By reexamining 3D images used to map the connections between brain cells, researchers are uncovering new information about a small, elusive, and often overlooked cellular appendage.
