The peptide Aβ42 builds up, misfolds, and aggregates in Alzheimer’s disease, but scientists still don’t understand its normal role in the cell. Super-resolution microscopy offers a new clue. Packets ...
Almost 100 billion nerve cells perform their service in the human brain. Each of these has an average of 1,000 contacts with other neurons. At these so-called synapses, information is passed on ...
Chemical synapses transmit information within the nervous system. When a presynaptic cell is electrically excited, synaptic vesicles fuse with the presynaptic membrane causing messenger substances ...
Alpha-synuclein shape-shifts in synaptic terminals, according to a study that tracked the protein’s movements in the neurons of living mice. Published February 5 in The Journal of Neuroscience, the ...
The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
