When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the ...
Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.
Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...
Flexoelectricity, which can transform mechanical deformation into electrical signals, could provide enough power to fire ...
Cells experience many different types of stress, such as starvation or stress caused by too much salt or too high a temperature. Insulin signals respond to such stress signals by sending the protein ...
A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point ...
