How do the brain's hemispheres communicate for memory? A new study identifies a right-to-left hippocampal circuit essential ...

Study in mice suggests that B cells help regulate muscle performance. Immune cells that help to fight off foreign invaders in ...

As we age, our ability to maintain healthy blood and a strong immune system gradually declines, largely because hematopoietic ...

This important study advances a new computational approach to measure and visualize gene expression specificity across different tissues and cell types. The framework is potentially helpful for ...

Mitochondria don’t just generate energy—they also carefully organize their own DNA in a surprisingly elegant way. Scientists have discovered that a long-overlooked phenomenon called “mitochondrial ...

UCLA researchers have identified a rogue population of immune cells that quietly accumulates in aging tissues and in the ...

REM (rapid eye movement) and non-REM (NREM) sleep stages contribute to systems memory consolidation in hippocampal-cortical circuits. However, the physiological mechanisms underlying REM memory ...

How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access ...

A growing body of research suggests astrocytes, star-shaped brain cells once dismissed as support players, may lead the way ...
