A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and ...

Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that severely impacts spatial memory. Place cells in the hippocampus play an important role in spatial memory. However, neuronal ...

Abstract: Fuel cell systems are emerging as a strong alternative to traditional power sources due to their high energy efficiency, greater energy density, and zero emissions. However, their relatively ...

One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet still gives rise to a kaleidoscope of different cell types and tissues. A ...

An experimental drug developed at Northwestern University has demonstrated further promise as an early intervention for Alzheimer's disease. In a new study, Northwestern scientists identified a ...
