Picture a star-shaped cell in the brain, stretching its spindly arms out to cradle the neurons around it. That's an astrocyte ...

A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own ...

UC Santa Cruz researchers are exploring how brains learn, adapt, and improve, which could help us better understand and address neurological conditions.

Scientists say stimulating two areas of the brain can increase a person’s ability to behave altruistically. The post Study ...

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 ...

Abstract: Cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (CF-mMIMO) and multi-function reconfigurable metasurfaces are two potential technologies for coping with 6G demands. Their coexistence, also ...

This figure shows primary T cells modified using two approaches. CAR receptors are introduced through targeted DNA insertion (top), while CRISPRoff mRNA and guide RNAs silence additional genes through ...
