How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are ...

The complex interactions between the nervous and immune systems are pivotal in both health and disease, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying ...

An often-ignored type of cell in the brain plays a dynamic and surprisingly complex role in our ability to process information, according to new research.

The Allen Brain Cell Atlas (ABC Atlas) aims to empower researchers worldwide to explore and analyze multiple whole-brain datasets simultaneously. As the Allen Institute and its collaborators continue ...

A promising advance in regenerative medicine could one day restore sight to millions of blind people. South Korean researchers have successfully triggered retinal regeneration in mammals, a major ...

Plasticity was accompanied by increased phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK+) cells in the graft (and host), reflective of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-ERK signaling, ...

Autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) is an emerging therapy for medically refractory CD though the mechanisms through which it circumvents refractory pathophysiology are unknown.

Focusing on Vegfc, a key factor necessary for lymphatic system development, researchers identified a specific glial subpopulation—slc6a11b+ RAs—that expresses Vegfc. These cells extend fibers ...

Researchers at Linköping University have developed a new type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons without affecting the sensitive extracellular milieu. Controlling the concentration ...

for example, nutrition, oxygen and healing. These cells are called glial cells and can be divided into many subgroups. Between the cells there is a fluid-filled space called the extracellular milieu.
