Cells that eventually become neurons (red, orange, and yellow spheres) migrate during embryonic development. The migrating baby neurons that build the spinal cord are color-coded…
Proteins in the fluid surrounding the target cell bind to a virus and can make it more infectious. The virus can also accelerate the formation…
When it comes to regeneration, some animals are capable of amazing feats. If you cut off a salamander’s leg, it will grow back. When threatened,…
Much of the research on HIV has focused on preventing infection but little is understood about how the body keeps the virus in check post-infection.…
The picture shows the developing ferret brain. Magenta marks glial cells and clearly shows the outer contour of the brain. The green area consists of…
Amyloid beta plaques accumulated in a mouse hippocampus. Yale researchers have identified a drinkable cocktail of designer molecules that interferes with a crucial first step…
Arrows show dermal condensate (in red), a subpopulation of cells essential for embryonic hair follicle growth. An outstanding question in dermatology that researchers have studied…
MIT researchers used their new tissue preservation technique to label and image neurons in a brain region called the globus pallidus externa. Neurons that express…
