Despite near-consensus that memory has a physical basis, neuroscientists are split on whether we might someday be able to ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also ...

The laboratory of Ege Kavalali, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology, published a paper in Nature ...

Researchers have developed an imaging technique to capture information about the structure and function of brain tissue at subcellular level -- a few billionth of a meter, while also capturing ...

The Cell Atlas, a subcellular map of the human proteome, shows the spatial distribution of 12,000 proteins, enabling the definition of 13 major organelle proteomes.

Just as healthy organs are vital to our well-being, healthy organelles are vital to the proper functioning of the cell. These subcellular structures carry out specific jobs within the cell; for ...

Technologies enable 3D imaging of whole human brain hemispheres at subcellular resolution A suite of three innovations by an MIT-based team enables high-resolution, high-throughput imaging of ...

Researchers have revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain. This work sheds light on the fundamentally flexible nature of how ...
