Researchers at UCLA Health and UC San Francisco have identified a specific molecular mechanism that explains why certain ...

Researchers have identified a specific protein complex inside neurons that tags toxic tau fragments for destruction, offering the clearest explanation yet for why certain brain cells survive while ...

The vertebrate retina is a highly organised neural circuit, comprising diverse cell types that transform light into the complex neural codes underlying vision. At the forefront are photoreceptors, ...

The brain's ability to do everything from forming memories to coordinating movement relies on its cells producing the right proteins at the right time. But directly measuring this protein production, ...

Study identified numerous influential “hub genes” that offer promising new targets for early detection and therapeutic intervention.

Machine learning is helping neuroscientists organize vast quantities of cells’ genetic data in the latest neurobiological cartography effort.

Researchers discover how much inner-ear damage it takes to affect balance, showing why small declines can trigger major symptoms.

Viruses attack nearly every living organism on Earth. To do so, they rely on highly specialized proteins that recognize and bind to receptors on the surface of target cells, a molecular arms race that ...

King's College London researchers have created a unique collection of human stem cell models that could help to uncover why ...
