Vertebrate lonesome kinase mediates a key interaction between neurons involved in injury-induced pain and helps explain ...

A close look at the behaviour of activated T cells in lymph nodes reveals that they engage with each other in dynamic clusters to share interleukin-2 (IL-2). To become activated, T cells engage with ...

The function of synaptic vesicles is to store neurotransmitters and to release them into the synaptic cleft in response to elevated intracellular calcium. To do this, they contain transmitter ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have used a "zap-and-freeze" technology to watch hard-to-see brain cell ...

Extracellular vesicles carry diverse molecules that cells use for communication. New tool enables scientists to ‘draw’ precise micropatterns with these vesicles, mimicking those deposited by cells in ...

In stunning new time-lapse videos, biological nanoparticles scoot and flit across a starry field of glowing dots. Guided by the invisible chemistry of attraction, these microscopic travelers ...

The authors have performed a potentially valuable new kind of analysis in connectomics, mapping to an interesting developmental problem of synaptic input to sensory neurons. While the analysis itself ...

This important study describes a deep learning framework that analyzes single-cell RNA data to identify a tumor-agnostic gene signature associated with brain metastases. The identified signature ...
