tail-like structure that sticks out from the cell body. This axon is separated from the axon of the next nerve cell in the communication chain by a gap called a synapse. When this electrical ...

found evidence that evolution of a new gene underpins the evolution of a new structure found in nerve cells. They describe this unusual gene called piggyBac Transposable Element-derived 1 ...

MEMBRANES are a ubiquitous cell component responsible for controlling many vital cellular functions, including selective permeability, ion accumulation and conduction of nerve impulses.

Researchers studied how the 3D structure of DNA in nerve cells affects their ability to heal after injury. Their results are published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Neurons, also called nerve cells, are composed of three ... introducing it into the nervous system and organizing the cells into the correct structure with the assistance of magnetic forces.
