Immunologists in Australia have eavesdropped on a stowaway population of B cells that hide in the lungs, their telltale biomarkers indicating they're armed to fight influenza—and their presence yet another sign that the ...
A protein newly discovered by scientists in China is aiding in the dramatic reversal of stroke-like damage in laboratory animals and may one day rescue humans from neurological injury, the research team is predicting.
The activity of neurons in the mammalian brain has been found to be linked with various physiological processes, including the flow of blood that provides them with the energy required to function (i.e., cerebral blood flow). ...
An Argonne study has revealed that short-lived mice and longer-living primates develop brain synapses on the exact same timeline, challenging assumptions about disease and aging. What does this mean for humans—and yesterday's ...
