Stanford researchers discovered that dialing down an overactive enzyme, LRRK2, can regrow lost cellular “antennae” in key ...

Researchers have long focused on the STING (Stimulator of Interferon Genes) pathway as a way to harness the immune system's ...

Major depressive disorder affects hundreds of millions worldwide, but a key to understanding its origins may lie in the brain ...

This explainer outlines how neurons and glial cells coordinate electrical and chemical signals to form complex brain networks that govern thought, behavior, and consciousness. It also explores how ...

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an “outside in” signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work, published Jan. 29 in Nature Communications, reveals a new signaling mechanism ...

The recent emergence of signaling roles for transition metals presages a broader contribution of these elements beyond their traditional functions as metabolic cofactors. New chemical approaches ...

The results of experiments in mice models were "astounding," said biochemist Suzanne Pfeffer of Stanford University.

Now, researchers have uncovered more about the complex process behind this superpower in a new study published Tuesday in Nature Communications. “A longstanding question in the field has been, ...

Neurons talk to one another using electricity. If you could hear these impulses, they might sound like constant, rapid-fire chatter all over the nervous system. Heart muscle cells do something similar ...

By examining squid skin cells three-dimensionally, a University of California, Irvine–led team has unveiled the structures ...
