Focusing back on the AMsh-AFD interaction, the team asked a follow-up question: KCC-3 appeared to mediate this glia-neuron interaction by localizing specifically to their interface, but how was this ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

A study published in Nature reveals the functional relevance of tumor-neuron interactions that regulate the growth of ependymoma brain tumors. The study, conducted by researchers at Baylor College of ...

Scientists are uncovering how the immune and nervous systems constantly “talk” to each other—sometimes with damaging results. In a recent review published in the journal Nature, Harvard Medical School ...

Adam Nelson, a principal investigator in the UW Department of Zoology and Physiology, led a study that used mice to show that social hierarchy involves status-dependent behavioral interactions that ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

Researchers have discovered tumor-neuron interactions that regulate the growth of ependymoma brain tumors. A study published in Nature reveals the functional relevance of tumor-neuron interactions ...
