Cellular traffic jams inside a fruit fly embryo might sound like a minor detail, but new work suggests they help flip a ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, is one of the leading causes of dementia worldwide, and ...

Researchers discovered that the common amino acid arginine can block harmful Aβ aggregation and reduce its toxic effects in ...

Retinal calcium waves in the developing Drosophila eye, visualized with a genetically encoded calcium indicator showing active calcium signals across supporting cells.

For just a few hours, shimmering waves of calcium move through cells in the developing eyes of fruit flies. These spontaneous waves serve a purpose, enabling communication between cells and shaping ...

The authors have performed a potentially valuable new kind of analysis in connectomics, mapping to an interesting developmental problem of synaptic input to sensory neurons. While the analysis itself ...

This important study presents a technically rigorous and carefully controlled analysis of the signalling potential of cancer-associated gain-of-function Notch alleles. The work is clearly presented, ...

Researchers have identified that the precisely timed transcription of two genes named grim and reaper is responsible for the targeted death of neurons within the developing nervous system of female ...

Stem cells possess the unique abilities of self-renewal and differentiation into various cell types, making them highly ...
