The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) serotonergic (5-HT) system has been implicated in regulating sleep and motor control; however, its specific role remains controversial. In this study, we found that ...

Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group provides measurable evidence that it can reshape how brain networks function.

This fundamental study uses the Drosophila mushroom body as a model to understand the molecular machinery that controls the temporal specification of neuronal cell types. With convincing experimental ...

Five years ago, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, and her team described novel small RNA-glycan conjugates, glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), on the cell surface. These small non-coding RNAs have ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously hidden biological interaction that helps explain why brain cells die in Parkinson’s disease and how that damage might be stopped. Credit: Shutterstock Scientists ...

A new study led by Hartmut Geiger at the University of Ulm, Germany, and Yi Zheng and Kodandaramireddy Nalapareddy, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC), USA reveals that age-related ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.

Tirzepatide treatment was associated with improved insulin sensitivity and β-cell function regardless of weight loss among patients with obesity and without diabetes. Tirzepatide significantly ...
