Researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute and Tufts University have engineered frog-cell constructs that autonomously assemble ...

The autonomic nervous system orchestrates the functions of internal organs such as the heart and gut, serving as a connection between the brain and the rest of the body. It is classified in two ...

Biobots, whose growing line of variants started with xenobots, are fascinating tiny self-powered living robots built exclusively using frog embryonic cells. Originally developed in the laboratories of ...

Glial cells in the Drosophila nervous system play indispensable roles in neural development, function, and homeostasis. These non-neuronal cells facilitate a range of processes, including the ...

A new class of living robots integrates neurons that self-organize and alter shape, gene expression, and behavior. The ...

Neurons from grafted stem cells contain intrinsic codes for navigating and forming connections, which may improve cell therapy for a brain short-circuited by stroke. Some parts of our bodies bounce ...

A new study of comb jellies has revealed that their nervous system is more complex than previously thought. What’s more, this ...

A newly identified role for the neuronal MPS shows it controls nutrient uptake by acting as a gatekeeper. Its disruption ...

A brain mechanism may explain why approximately 40% of people with hypertension continue to have high blood pressure despite taking medication. The discovery reveals potential targets for new ...

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...
