The connections between brain cells have been mapped with unprecedented molecular resolution using a new light-microscopy ...

Researchers have shown in mice that brain cells known as astrocytes are required for a signaling chemical called norepinephrine to modify brain activity, changing the textbook understanding that ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have upended the decades-old dogma of how connections between brain cells are rearranged during states of heightened vigilance or ...

Rapid information transfer between neurons occurs through the chemical synapse, where regulated ... plasma membrane has been viewed as a static structure, in which ion channels that function ...

The reconstructed vesicle cycle model provides critical insights into synaptic transmission, advancing neuroscience and ...

Rather than being like battery chargers, mitochondria are more like the motherboard of the cell.

A recent review in npj 2D Materials and Applications highlights how 2D materials like MoS2 and graphene are enabling ...

Researchers have identified a remarkably small but critical piece of genetic code that helps determine how brain cells connect, communicate, and function. The discovery not only deepens our ...

Learn how this IIT Kanpur alumnus is building India’s most promising climate-tech startup, Greengine, focused on biological carbon capture ...

My search for answers to these stupendously ambitious questions led me, it now seems inexorably, to mitochondria. This idea of mitochondria being little batteries with a built-in charger, about as ...
