A rare group of neurons can reconnect broken spinal circuits and trigger leg muscle activity after spinal cord injury—a ...

Understanding gene expression within the body has been a boon for 21st century biology and therapeutics, but most discoveries ...

This proposed collection will examine how discoveries emerging from curiosity-driven research in cell and developmental biology have given rise to major ...

A new, more life-like physical model of microscopic nerve fibres called axons could speed up the discovery of medicines for ...

Researchers at the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel (IOB) report new insights into how cone ...

The findings suggest that APC-deficient cells rely on ALDH2 to manage metabolic stress, making them particularly vulnerable when this pathway is disrupted. In contrast, cells with intact APC function ...

A single-celled organism shows Pavlovian learning, challenging our assumptions about the origins of cognition.

Andreas Pfenning discusses the techniques being developed and used to study neuronal heterogeneity and the therapeutic potential of his work.

Can a creature with one cell and no brain still learn from experience? A growing body of biology suggests that the answer is ...

In biology, defects are generally bad. But in materials science, defects can be intentionally tuned to give materials useful ...

Researchers at the University of Arizona have rewritten a basic assumption about one of the most studied growth pathways in ...
