Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue ...

A new study describes a technique that rejuvenates aging blood-forming stem cells and could help reduce the risk of age-related blood disorders.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny biological bubbles that carry nucleic acids and proteins between cells, playing an essential role in tissue repair, neuroprotection and immune health. By ...

The field of cellular neuroscience continues to reveal the intricate regulation of neural and glial cell function by water and ion channels, transporters, ...

Stimulating the liver to generate signals normally produced by the thymus can reverse age-related declines in T-cell populations.

Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as quickly, making people more susceptible to a variety of infections. To try to ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified the cellular mechanisms that cause immune cells to differentiate and ultimately lose function during viral infection, findings that could improve ...

Running extreme distances may strain more than just muscles and joints. New research suggests ultramarathons can alter red ...

Pain is something most people experience after an injury, whether from a sprained ankle, surgery or car accident. Normally pain fades as the body heals. But it may last longer in women than in men, ...

Short-term IF boosts glucose homeostasis, but prolonged fasting in adolescence may impair β cell maturation—potentially linking chronic IF to type 1 diabetes risk. Study: Chronic intermittent fasting ...
