Scientists at La Trobe University have created a world-first method to investigate "disordered" proteins in living cells, in ...

Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

MIT's devices wrap neurons, restoring signalling disrupted by MS. These battery-free devices offer a new approach to neurological disorders Researchers aim to produce scalable devices for therapeutic ...

You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, mitochondria produce energy, lysosomes recycle waste ...

“And also trying to unravel a little bit of the cellular mechanisms that were at play here.” To model ataxia, the team selectively silenced Purkinje cells in mice, which caused ataxia-like motor ...

Mice that can't remyelinate also show increased activity of a specific protein pathway linked to the death of nerve cells. When researchers blocked this pathway, it prevented neuron death in the ...

This image shows the researchers’ subcellular-sized devices, which are designed to gently wrap around different parts of neurons, such as axons and dendrites, without damaging the cells. The devices ...

Detailed maps that pinpoint the positions of cells in tumours and probe the tumours’ biology are offering insights into the development of several cancers — including in the breast ...

By contrast, the cerebellum features as a brain region where all cell types examined, including Purkinje cells, astrocytes and microglia show continuously increasing mitophagy levels with aging. As a ...
