Scientists have discovered how two transcription factors form a reciprocal regulatory circuit that controls T-cell exhaustion ...

Astrocytes, once thought to be mere brain “support cells,” are now revealed to be key players in fear memory. Researchers found they actively help form, recall, and weaken fear responses by ...

A computational model explains how place cells in the hippocampus can be recruited to form any kind of episodic memory, even when there's no spatial component. Nearly 50 years ago, neuroscientists ...

The next surprise was that human organoids just kept growing. Mouse organoids were done with making neurons within nine days.

Cancer treatment has long been haunted by the same problem: how do you strike dangerous cells without hitting healthy ones ...

Imagine a star-shaped cell in the brain, reaching out with long, thin extensions to surround nearby neurons. This cell is called an astrocyte. For ...

It's easy to take our eyes for granted. But our recent research shows they took an incredible evolutionary journey to reach ...

Light behaves differently underwater. It shifts with depth, bends through murky currents, and separates into distinct ...

A new study demonstrated that introducing neurons into Xenopus-derived biobots led to the self-organization of active neural ...

Chinese researchers have just developed a revolutionary sodium battery that can effectively eliminate thermal ...
