A new study confirms reports of membrane-bound RNA molecules and points to their role in neutrophil migration.

Regulatory T cells in the colon travel to muscles to promote wound healing in mice, raising questions about how antibiotics may impact injury recovery.

In stressful conditions, specialized protein complexes in microglia induce neurotoxic activity in astrocytes that leads to the change in behavior.

This year’s Breakthrough Prizes honor advances in CAR T cancer therapies, cystic fibrosis, and Parkinson’s disease.

To understand how memories are formed and maintained, neuroscientists travel far beyond the cell body in search of answers.

Conversations between the immune and central nervous systems are proving to be essential for the healthy social behavior, learning, and memory.

Clinicians and researchers teamed up to investigate how inappropriate proinflammatory mechanisms contribute to the pathogenesis of drug-refractory epilepsy.

A gene essential for information storage in the brain engages an autoregulatory feedback loop to consolidate memory.

If left in situ, a PGC develops into spermatozoa or ova after its imprints have been erased and reestablished. Embryonic stem cells come from the blastocyst's inner cell mass.
