Scientists at Cincinnati Children's have identified how certain immune cells are molecularly programmed to respond faster ...

Cells change shape to move efficiently in a range of spatial environments. This response can be informed by the cell’s memory of past deformation. Read the paper: The actin cortex acts as a mechanical ...

Study reveals how navigation and memory are linked, with a stable brain compass helping keep memories organized over time.

The human brain holds a staggering number of connections, yet scientists have long struggled to explain how it stores so much ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...

Our lives revolve around patterns. From the time we wake up to the moment we stop at a red light to when we sit down for dinner, the cadence of our day-to-day actions guides how we interact with the ...

The human immune system is like an army of specialized soldiers (immune cells) each with a unique role to play in fighting disease. In a new study published in Nature, led by scientists at the Allen ...

Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...

Memory T cell therapy improves infection clearance after transplant, with 60% remission and strong safety outcomes in early ...
