When it comes to brain function, neurons get a lot of the glory. But healthy brains depend on the cooperation of many kinds ...

How can a virus with only five proteins dominate a human cell that contains thousands? This question has long puzzled ...

The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

Researchers collaborating on a BRAIN Initiative project unveiled the most comprehensive map of developing mammalian brains to ...

A new study from North Carolina State University shows a reproducible way of studying cellular communication among varied types of plant cells by "bioprinting" these cells via a 3D printer. Learning ...

Generating a complete multimodal cell census and atlas of the mouse brain through collaborative data collection, tool development and analysis. This atlas combines single-cell transcriptomic, ...

As the body ages, organ function progressively declines and the risk for a wide range of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, increases. Understanding how ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.

Moreover, bulk sequencing data led scientists to conclude that brown and beige fat cells express uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1), which encodes the protein UCP1 that halts adenosine triphosphate (ATP) ...

Researchers have developed a new strategy that allows engineered T cells to recognize and respond to a single tumour antigen ...
