DZNE researchers have uncovered a mechanism that determines why a neuron usually forms a single, long extension called an "axon"—a phenomenon that is fundamental to how our brain functions. Contrary ...
A new study using stem cell-based models has shed new light on how the human embryo begins to develop, which could one day benefit the development of fertility treatment. The study led by the ...
Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that one of the body's most fundamental biological processes—how red blood ...
Billions of years of evolution have made modern cells incredibly complex. Inside cells are small compartments called organelles that perform specific functions essential for the cell’s survival and ...
Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, according to a new study in mice. These pathways appear to connect distant regions in ways that ...

All cells need to sense and respond to their environment—to know when to activate genes, build proteins and carry out their basic functions. One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they ...
