Intracellular transport is a vital process that allows cells to move proteins and other molecules to specific locations. This ...

Precise intracellular transport is essential for neuronal function, yet the exact mechanism of selective cargo delivery by ...

The brain contains many cell types, from the prominent neurons to the lesser-known microglia. The latter are integral to the brain's immune system and play a crucial role as the brain's cleanup crew.

How do neurons transport proteins? A new study reveals that Kinesin-2 motor subtypes regulate cargo specificity.

The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Different parts of the brain perform a variety of functions, all of ...

Alzheimer's disease is strongly associated with a genetic variant widely known as APOE4. This is one variation of the APOE gene... | Genetics And Genomics ...

Scientists have shown that specialized cells involved in how the body responds to insulin are activated in the brain after exercise, suggesting that physical activity may directly improve brain ...

A clearance mechanism involving microglia has been known to relieve neurons of toxic protein aggregates such as those associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately, this ...
