The nervous system is a complex network of neurons and cells that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would ...

A breakthrough study published today in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of ...

An adult human body consists of some 37 trillion cells. Not so long ago, these were thought to come in 220 different types.

It’s made up of the body’s many nerve cells. These cells work together in a network that sends and receives signals from one part of the body to another. Nerve cells take in information ...

Although GM pathology has become more evident, mainly through novel imaging techniques, these new methods currently have not been incorporated into the clinical setting of patient care.

IL-18 levels are also increased in AD risk diseases, including type-2 diabetes and obesity. Here, we explored other IL-18 regulated proteins in neuron-like SH-SY5Y cells. Differentiated SH-SY5Y cells, ...
