These images use color markers—blue for nuclei, red for cell membranes, and green for fluid—to show that spaces between cells shrink as fluid moves out during tissue compression, from left to right ...
The human brain has no conventional lymph nodes, no obvious drainage pipes. For most of medical history, scientists assumed ...
Sleep helps the brain to cleanse itself—and now this process can be measured in humans entirely noninvasively. Researchers at the University of Oulu have developed a method that allows the increased ...
Using various imaging techniques, the scientists tied abdominal movements to shifts in mouse brains and the movement of cerebrospinal fluid.
