Iron is an essential trace element in biological cells. The concentration of the element and its so-called redox state—it can ...

Abstract: The collection of single-cell level information has become essential in the development of drug molecules, diagnostics, and therapeutics, as cellular responses measured at the population ...

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

Researchers at Leipzig University and TU Dresden have succeeded in developing biological switches that can selectively turn ion channels on and off using light pulses. Initial applications show that ...

Ageing slows neuronal protein degradation in mice, leading to widespread accumulation and aggregation of long-lived proteins, particularly at synapses. As neuronal clearance declines, microglia ...

Explore the connection between neurodegeneration and cellular senescence in understanding brain structure and ageing.
