The overlooked astrocyte: Star-shaped brain cells may form specialized networks for reward learning
The new findings gathered by Navarrete and her colleagues could have important implications for the study of astrocytes and their role in neural circuits, as they appear to contradict long-standing ...
AggreBots are mini living robots made from human cells that can move, spin, and swim, paving the way for medicine delivery and tissue repair.
TThe fundamental unit of the nervous system is the neuron. Individual neurons are connected by synapses to form circuits. Evolution has driven the formation of ever more elaborate circuits to enable ...
For years, the pancreas has been being taught in biology class as an easy system: insulin lowers blood sugar, and glucagon ...
A new study by physicists and neuroscientists from the University of Chicago, Harvard and Yale describes how connectivity among neurons comes about through general principles of networking and ...
When a bone grows, our bodies’ proteins help provide the structure. When a muscle tears, proteins help rebuild it. When we fight an infection, transport oxygen in our blood or send messages to a cell, ...
