They are shown spraying water balloons onto a neuromuscular junction to extinguish flames, representing toxic TDP-43 aggregates in axons. The illustration captures the core idea of our study: how ...

In a key advance for regenerative medicine and gut health, scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered a precise and ...

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain's neurons has a kind of 'molecular memory', which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories. The researchers have ...

Implantable bioelectronics are vital to neuroscience, neurological therapies, and brain-machine interfaces. They serve as indispensable interfaces that enable the communication between biological ...

New research shows that physical pressure from brain tumors or injuries triggers a "self-destruction" program in neurons, leading to irreversible brain damage.

UMass Amherst engineers have built an artificial neuron powered by bacterial protein nanowires that functions like a real one, but at extremely low voltage. This allows for seamless communication with ...
