Different types of these branch-like projections process incoming information in different ways before sending it to the body of the neuron.
A research group at the University of Helsinki has discovered the logic that controls gene regulation in human cells. In the future, this new knowledge can be applied to, for example, investigating cancers and other genetic diseases.
A discovery made in a new study helps to identify poor response tumours already prior chemotherapy is applied and opens new avenues for the development of combination therapies.
The efficacy of immunotherapies in the most common lymphoid malignancy, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, has been modest. New findings on how immune cells communicate could inform a more accurate way to group patients for treatment.
A study conducted at the University of Helsinki demonstrated that the partial replacement of animal protein sources in the diet with plant-based protein sources resulted in an increase in folate and iron intake, but a decrease in vitamin B12 and iodine intake.
A new study sheds light on how a protein pumps toxic molecules out of bacterial cells.
An international team of scientists led by Tomáš Pluskal from the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IOCB Prague) has introduced a new generation of software enabling scientists to analyse large volumes of data from mass spectrometry, a technique that separates chemicals by their weights. The open-source project MZmine provides a new window into the chemical space that surrounds us and lives within. The latest advances in MZmine 3 are now published in a Nature Biotechnology paper.
Fan Wang’s studies of how the brain controls pain may one day lead to new treatments that could help millions of people.
The planet’s night side likely hosts iron clouds, titanium rain, and winds that dwarf Earth’s jetstream.
A model’s ability to generalize is influenced by both the diversity of the data and the way the model is trained, researchers report.
MIT neuroscientists have identified a population of neurons in the human brain that respond to singing but not other types of music.
Discovery shows for the first time that multiferroic properties can exist in a two-dimensional material; could lead to more efficient magnetic memory devices.
State-of-the-art analysis of brain images from nearly 700 children has turned up surprisingly few links between white matter structure and reading ability.
