A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a previously underappreciated role in the maturation of coordinated movement. A ...

Researchers used single-nucleus RNA sequencing and chromatin accessibility profiling to map human hippocampal neurogenesis across adulthood, aging, and Alzheimer’s disease. They found that chromatin ...

Now, in a recently published Journal of Cell Biology paper, scientists used a newer electron microscopy technique, called volume electron microscopy (vEM), to examine how primary cilia on developing ...
