Researchers modeled long-term iron accumulation in neurons and identified chronoferroptosis. Chronic exposure reduced ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have identified a compound that sharply reduced nerve-cell death in mice engineered to develop ...

Neurons exposed to chronic iron overload do not simply die on contact. Instead, they enter a weakened, primed state that ...

A new study from the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience researchers may help explain an enduring mystery about ...

University of South Alabama researchers report that neurons can transfer mitochondria directly to cancer cells, enhancing their metastatic potential. Oncologists have long suspected that tumors thrive ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

Migrating newborn neurons suffer routine double-strand DNA breaks from physical stress during brain development.

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells. “Mimicking the behaviour of biological neurons ...

The bidirectional interaction between the brain and peripheral tumors is critical but poorly understood. Here we show GABAergic neurons in the lateral septum, a key brain region implicated in ...

Newborn nerve cells must squeeze through crowded, narrow spaces—through dense tissue, past other cells, and between fibers—to ...

Research published in Cell Reports from the University of Alabama at Birmingham reveals that, by labeling a subset of trigeminal afferents with the genetic marker Fos-Cre and inhibiting them, ...

After meals, the intestines use peristalsis to move food through the gut using coordinated contractions and relaxations of smooth muscle. Results from a new study in mice done by scientists at Harvard ...
