Alzheimer’s disease may cause degeneration of neurons in the brain through amyloid ... which are the spaces between nerve cells where information passes from one cell to another.

Researchers have identified a subset of brain cells in mice ... This showed the cells could control the bladder and sphincter independently of one another, but the question remained: could they ...

But how do non-moving single-celled organisms deal with light that is too intense? Researchers have discovered the surprising answer. Too much of a good thing is no good at all. Living organisms ...

The researchers wanted to see whether non-brain cells reacted similarly, so they developed two separate lines of generic human cells, one from nerve tissue and one from kidney tissue, to test it.

In the Nature Communications research, the scientists replicated learning over time by studying two types of non-brain human cells in a laboratory (one from nerve tissue and one from kidney tissue ...

A new study suggests that even single-celled organisms, like amoebae, and individual cells within the human body, might be capable of a simple form of learning called habituation. This discovery ...

location and function of the many types of brain cells. A new gut microbiome atlas looks at the collection of microorganisms in the intestines, which plays a key role in digestion and immune ...

Here we establish protocols and assess the feasibility of collecting and processing MF in an outpatient setting. We characterize the cellular contents of MF from 15 healthy women using flow cytometry ...

But a new study, published Nov. 19 in Current Biology, offers compelling evidence that even tiny single-cell creatures such as ciliates and amoebae, as well as the cells in our own bodies, could ...
