Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have created the first detailed map showing how genetic activity is controlled in ...

When we hear sounds, specialized cells in the cochlear nucleus are the first to process that information, enabling our brains to understand speech, enjoy music and recognize various noises. For ...

A cluster of recent studies has sharpened the scientific picture of how T cells switch on, tracking the molecular signals ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists from around the world are making headway in compiling a Human Cell Atlas -- a deep dive into the myriad types of cells ...

Researchers have created an early map of some of the human body’s estimated 37.2 trillion cells. Each type of cell has a unique role, and knowing what all the cells do can help scientists better ...

Scientists usually study the molecular machinery that controls gene expression from the perspective of a linear, two-dimensional genome—even though DNA and its bound proteins function in three ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to ...

An estimated 86 billion neurons in the average human brain govern our body’s functions and conjure — somehow — the human mind. C. elegans has 302 neurons in one sex and a few more in the other.

Cell mapping methods have emerged as a robust framework for the global analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems. By discretising the continuous state space into a finite number of cells, researchers ...

Launching a company in today’s competitive (and litigious) spatial biology market may seem risky. But the new company, Moleculent, located in Stockholm, Sweden, has a different focus than the spatial ...
