Scientists have discovered a remarkable new form of symbiosis — a bacterium that lives inside a single-celled organism (a ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

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.

In mature cells, the cilia are disassembled and go away completely. However, the centriole, the structure from which the cilium grows, remains docked on the surface of these mature cells.

Researchers developed a hyperelastic torque reversal mechanism, enhancing soft robots' performance with rapid and powerful ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...

They explained that even with a simple structure that connects a tendon and motor to a flexible joint, repetitive and powerful bending motions could be realized, just like the cilia found in nature.

But comparatively few studies have investigated how glia protect and maintain dendrites and their delicate cilia. Knowing that dendrite structure changes correlate with learning and memory ...
