Oxysterols are a class of molecules derived from cholesterol via oxidation or as byproducts of cholesterol synthesis.

Oxide-ion conductors are important energy materials. Here, the authors found a tellurite-based oxygen ion conductor highlighting the interplay of secondary bond interactions and Grotthuss-like ...

Tsukuba, Japan—The brains of mammals, including humans, not only contain neurons but also glial cells called microglia. Microglia modulate the immune response in the central nervous system ...

Cell signalling is the mechanism by which stimuli are transmitted via a signalling cascade to effector molecules that orchestrate the appropriate response. Types of cell signalling pathways ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...
