Researchers have uncovered a surprising molecular chain reaction in the brain that may play a role in some forms of autism. The study suggests that nitric oxide, a tiny signaling molecule normally ...

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

A recent UC Santa Cruz study, published in Nature Communications scientific journal, uncovered clues in a decadeslong mystery ...

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...

To support drug discovery, a new study has revealed fundamental features of the transcription cycle in the bacteria that causes tuberculosis.

Lab-grown mini-brains learned to play video games using electrical signals, improving from 4.5% to 46% success in AI balance tests.

Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX), in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), have ...

Researchers propose that brain cells inherit positional cues from their lineage and cluster near related cells to form large-scale structure. Mouse and zebrafish experiments support the model, with ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

Melanie Stein, ND Clinical improvement in treatment-refractory MCAS with normal conventional biomarkers and profound oral ...

A team led by HHMI Hanna Gray Fellow Shan Meltzer has created a detailed, cell-by-cell map of the spinal cord that offers a new framework for understanding chronic pain and provides a powerful new ...

Scientists have mapped a direct link between a common brain gas and the hyperactive cell growth often seen in autism. Protecting a specific protein from this gas normalized behavior in animal models ...
