Membrane potential creates the foundational electrical charge difference that allows human brain cells to function and send ...

How do biological cells join forces to form a structure? In her Ph.D. research, Daphne Nesenberend uses mathematics to show how forces and cooperation between cells create structure—and how ...

When probes are inserted into the brain for research or clinical purposes, the electrical activity of neurons is recorded. These signals can be used to understand how the brain performs certain ...

Scientists have often thought of cells as small, bustling cities with parts that resemble factories, power grids and shipping ...

Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar picture. Instead of just tiny bags of reacting molecules, our cells appear ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

Newswise — Extracellular vesicles and particles are central to how cells communicate, especially in cancer, where they help shape metastasis and treatment resistance. However, most existing methods ...
