The next question was how this relates to nerve cell function. If a nerve cell produces a protein that can detect heat, does that mean that the nerve cell responds to heat? The current study is ...

Individual nerve cells in the brain can predict specific odors and their emotional associations ... The results not only confirm decades of animal studies, but also show how different brain regions ...

In order to reach their target, for instance a tumor, immune cells have to leave the bloodstream or lymphatic vessels and migrate through connective tissue. Until now, scientists presumed that ...

An international team led by the Paul Langerhans Institute Dresden has visualized the structure and function of primary cilia ...

In brain and spinal cord tissue, SOD1 trimers bind with proteins that are involved in maintaining neuron structure, function and communication between nerve cells. The team also found that SOD1 ...

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by a progressive loss of nerve cells leading to a decline in memory and cognition. A team of researchers at KU Leuven and VIB explored the molecular sequence ...
