Prof. LU Yao's group from DICP decoded the secretome-mediated neuron-immune cell interaction network with single-cell integrative secretion profiling technology.

Brain cells, or neurons, have multiple means of communication, and their chatter may be influenced by the cells around them, research suggests. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Highlights: * Messenger RNA methylation controls protein production essential for neuron development * Adenomatous ...

They have discovered a novel form of communication established by direct contacts between microglia and the cell body of nerve cells, named somatic microglia-neuron junctions, and revealed the ...

New research explains how a common brain parasite, called Toxoplasma gondii, can disrupt brain functions, even when it only infects a small number of neurons. The microscopic parasite, which infects ...

In a breakthrough study, scientists found that silencing a single overactive enzyme in the brain reversed early damage caused ...

While glucose, or sugar, is a well-known fuel for the brain, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have demonstrated that ...

In AD, synaptic plasticity, the brain’s ability to regulate the strength of synaptic connections between neurons, is significantly disrupted. This worsens over time, reducing cognitive and memory ...

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) isn’t caused by just one faulty switch in the brain; it’s more like a tangled orchestra of genes and cells thrown off-key by trauma. With many genetic players ...

Neurons talk to one another using electricity. If you could hear these impulses, they might sound like constant, rapid-fire chatter all over the nervous system. Heart muscle cells do something similar ...
