The prefrontal cortex region of the human brain is responsible for a range of complex functions from decision-making to certain types of memory. When something goes wrong in this part of the brain, it ...

The cell nucleus is the site of many important biological functions of the eukaryotic cell. These processes include transcription, replication, splicing and ribosome biogenesis. The effect of these ...

- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...

Researchers have found a new, dynamic protein structure in cells. Every cell contains millions of protein molecules. Some of them have the ability to phase-separate to form non-membrane-bound ...

A subset of more than 1,000 neurons, representing just a snapshot of the complexity mapped within a cubic millimeter of mouse brain tissue Allen Institute In 1979, biologist Francis Crick claimed it ...

White blood cells help your body fight inflammation and infections. A high or low white blood cell count may be associated with a number of short-term or long-term health conditions. White blood cells ...

Prior to using this narrative, have learners create their own model of a cell in their notebooks using whatever background information or experience they might have. While exploring the narrative, ...

Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in ...

Using high magnification imaging, a team of researchers has identified several never before seen structures in bacteria that represent molecular machinery. Using high magnification imaging, a team of ...

Biomedical research typically follows a familiar path: developing treatments that block, enhance or mutate certain signaling pathways, genes or proteins to change the function of different cells in ...
