Researchers have discovered that mysterious clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling 'hotspots' that activate gene transcription, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The ...

One in five people worldwide suffers from chronic inflammatory pain. Meanwhile, about two thirds of those affected find ...

Clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling “hotspots” that link electrical signals to gene expression, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The discovery may potentially lead ...

Hyderabad have identified a mammalian protein, Cnpy1 (Canopy1), that is essential for the survival and function of ...

A study from UCLA neurologists challenges the idea that the brain recruits existing neurons to take over for those that are lost from stroke. It shows that in mice, undamaged neurons do not change ...

Neurons are the most well-known cells in the brain but they are not the only type of cell in this organ. The other main type is the glial cells, also known as neuroglia. Glia comes from the Greek word ...

Researchers pinpointed the purpose of mysterious heart neurons in mice—and humans have them, too When you get up out of a ...
