Signalling between neurons and tumour cells in the lung and brain promotes the growth of small-cell lung cancer. These interactions might be a therapeutic target. Read the paper: Neuronal ...

Neuron-like cells created from a readily available cell line have allowed researchers to investigate how the human brain makes a metabolic building block essential for the survival of all living ...

An education centre shaped like a oversized neuron cell, designed by the late Will Alsop for his practice All Design, has opened at Centre of the Cell in Whitechapel, London. Named Neuron Pod, the ...

Long before memory problems appear, your brain may already be losing neurons. That is the unsettling message from new work by ...

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on aging research on January 8, 2025. The collection of reviews and perspectives reflects the progress made in ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...

The cells with electrophysiological activity obtained at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) are opening up new avenues for the study of neurodegenerative diseases and the development of ...

A drug used for 30 years to treat a variety of conditions may also improve cognition and halt neuron death in Alzheimer's.

SH-SY5Y cells, the subline of the parental line SK-N-SH cells, are originally established from a bone marrow biopsy of a neuroblastoma patient with sympathetic adrenergic ganglial origin. SK-N-SH were ...

Nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord are wrapped in an insulating sheath known as myelin. For a long time, this barrier, which is essentially the brain's white matter, was believed to serve the ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.
