Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative technique to non-invasively measure two key signals, membrane voltage and intracellular calcium levels, at the same time, in neurons of ...

Living cells constantly exchange ions (i.e., charged particles) via the thin barrier that surrounds their interior, known as ...

Scientists placed 200,000 living human brain cells on a microchip and taught it how to play a doomsday video game — and are now using the dystopian tech to power AI data centers. Australian biotech ...

While early in life, the accumulation of iron appears to have little effect on neuron function, later in life, it can ...

A tiny strip of printed nanomaterials fired an electrical spike, and a living mouse brain cell answered back. That exchange, reported in April 2025 by researchers at Northwestern University, marks the ...

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...

We expanded RNA localization beyond the OMM to six additional subcellular compartments, including cytoplasmic p-bodies, stress granules, nuclear telomeres, nuclear stress bodies, and anterograde and ...

Neurons are unique in that they are the only cell type in the body to display massive diversity in cell size, morphology, phenotype, and function both within individuals and across species. Previous ...

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.
