B cells were first characterized in the 1960s and early 1970s, when Max Cooper and Robert Good showed that surgical removal of the bursa of Fabricius (a primary immune organ in birds) rendered ...

Scientists have discovered that cells beyond the brain may also play a role in memory formation, a breakthrough that could transform our understanding of memory and lead to new treatments. Researchers ...

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...

Groundbreaking research from NYU reveals non-neural human cells can remember chemical signals. This challenges the long-held belief that only the brain stores memories. Cells exposed to spaced signals ...

Researchers released a consensus statement with recommendations to update T cell nomenclature and improve communication ...

This NYU study opens up a new dimension in memory science, suggesting that our entire body could play a role in storing memories. As we continue to explore the potential of these findings, we may ...

Research suggests a fat cell's "memory" of past obesity changes how it responds to food, and that may explain why keeping weight off is so difficult. Keeping weight off can be hard. Often it feels ...

B-cell development begins in the bone marrow, where hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) go through a process called hematopoiesis to become common lymphoid progenitor cells before differentiating into T ...
