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

The semiconductor sensor developed by Toyohashi University enables real-time visualization of neurotransmitter and ion movements in biological samples.

The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

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

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 ...
