While early in life, the accumulation of iron appears to have little effect on neuron function, later in life, it can ...

Digging deep into the molecular mechanisms behind ALS, researchers at the Les Turner ALS Center at Northwestern Medicine have discovered why nerve cells overfire in the disease. Not only that—they ...

A recent study published in Cell Death & Disease suggests that specific cellular abnormalities in the brain associated with ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...

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

Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) often leads to retrograde cell death in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia (DRG), hindering nerve regeneration and functional recovery. Repetitive magnetic ...

Cells have surface receptors that couple to proteins and other molecules to initiate or inhibit certain behaviors.

Researchers discover that the GPR3 receptor acts as an immediate-early gene to jumpstart neuron and synapse development.

A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the ...

McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron. With a signal ...
