A breakthrough study sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of genes essential for learning and memory.

The epigenetic memory of a cell defines the set of modifications ... crucial for transcriptional activation and embryonic fate determination.

Immune cells called regulatory T cells have long been known for their role in countering inflammation. In the setting of ...

the team used genetically engineered mice that allowed them to stimulate or inhibit the cells’ firing. “If we silence these neurons, aggression is basically gone, but mating with females is unaffected ...

Heavy weed use appears to dull the brains of young adults, particularly affecting their short-term working memory, a new study suggests.

Meanwhile, the adaptive system, consisting of T and B cells, responds more slowly, targeting specific antigens and generating long-lived memory cells to enable a quicker, stronger secondary response.

A breakthrough study published today in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical ...
