A Cedars-Sinai study has identified a previously unknown role for astrocyte cells in how the brain responds to damage and ...

Our brain’s memory center bears a sleek design. A peek into living tissue from human hippocampi, a brain region crucial for memory and learning, revealed relatively few cell-to-cell connections for ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have found that a cellular housekeeping mechanism called autophagy plays a major role ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

A new machine learning model shows that star-shaped brain cells may be responsible for the brain's memory capacity, and someday, it could inspire advances in AI and Alzheimer's research. When you ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...

The immune system is made of various cell types that take on critical roles to fight off foreign pathogens. These subsets of cells make up two distinct bar | Immunology ...

Maintaining cognitive function and memory is more important than ever in today’s fast-paced world. Many individuals seek effective, accessible solutions to combat cognitive decline and enhance their ...

New findings could aid future development of more efficient therapeutic strategies in the context of regenerative medicine and aging.
