A new study may overturn the century-old understanding of how neurons are shaped—but not everyone is on board.

The kinesin-like motor protein KIF23 is a critical component of the mitotic central spindle. This study uncovers a role of ...

Although neurons are considered the basic units of the brain and nervous system, they do not do all the work. Glia are a non-neuronal category of cells that do not transmit electrical signals but ...

Experiment reveals new blind spot in our physical reasoning: Most people cannot tell a weak knot from a strong one by looking at them ...

Dec. 18, 2024 — Scientists have generated human stem cell models which contain notochord -- a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, directing cells where to build ...

The input of the DeepTXsolver is the parameters of the mechanism model, and the output is the corresponding stationary distribution solution of the model. The input to the DeepTXinferrer is the ...

In a new study of mouse cells, scientists found that both the biochemical and mechanical effects of exercise may help injured ...

Axons in brain cells resemble a string of pearls rather than smooth tubes, according to Johns Hopkins researchers. This discovery, aided by advanced imaging and modeling, reveals how physical and ...
