The retina is often referred to as an "outpost of the brain"—after all, important steps in visual signal processing do not ...
In a new study of mouse cells, scientists found that both the biochemical and mechanical effects of exercise may help injured ...
Even mild head trauma like a concussion can cause cranial nerve damage. The symptoms may appear immediately following the trauma, or they may not appear until days after the incident (for olfactory ...
No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by scientists in a new study on the human sense of touch. Comparisons between humans, mice and macaques show both similarities and ...
RA also induces the differentiation of various types of neurons and glia, by activating the transcription of genes that encode various transcription factors, cell signalling molecules, structural ...
You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, mitochondria produce energy, lysosomes recycle waste ...
