An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen and the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, has shown that nerve cells in the brain specialize in different tasks when processing visual information.

Scientists reverse autism-like symptoms in mice by repairing shortened nerve cell structures
A recent study published in Cell Death & Disease suggests that specific cellular abnormalities in the brain associated with autism spectrum disorder might be reversible. By artificially activating a targeted neural pathway in a mouse model,
Dysfunctions of the tiny cell processes (primary cilia) of the pancreatic beta cells could be a cause of type 2 diabetes. Little is known about the structure and function of these cilia. An international research team led by DZD researchers from the Paul ...

Volvox parent spheroid: Numerous individual cells can be seen across the entire surface as magenta-colored dots. Developing daughter spheroids appear as a few larger clusters with very small dots. The green areas show the ECM compartments of the individual ...
Cells can spontaneously change shape even without external signals, but the underlying mechanisms behind this form of self-organization have remained unclear. Now, researchers from Japan have discovered self-propelled treadmilling actin filaments (SpTAs),
"Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure," Cheng, a Curators' Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, said. "Our tool helps scientists study those differences in detail -- which can lead to new insights into health and disease."
Biomedical research typically follows a familiar path: developing treatments that block, enhance or mutate certain signaling pathways, genes or proteins to change the function of different cells in the body. University of Cincinnati researchers are ...
