The wiring of one insect’s brain no longer contains much uncharted territory. All of the nerve cells — and virtually every connection between them — in a larval fruit fly brain have now been mapped, ...

Researchers discover how much inner-ear damage it takes to affect balance, showing why small declines can trigger major symptoms.

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and ...

Two new studies involving the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Queensland (UQ) in Brisbane, Australia have identified a unique molecule that not only gobbles up bad cells, but also ...

Researchers have combined two microscopic imaging techniques in one microscope, providing scientists with a high-resolution method of tracking single molecules in a cellular context. The development ...

Chinese scientists succeed in multiplying millions of NK cells against cancer from a single donor, for more accessible therapies.

UTA will soon add a new piece of cutting-edge equipment to its already impressive and growing research armamentarium - a type of super-resolution microscope (SRM) that allows biologists to see ...

Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous system. They help support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the nervous ...
