Neurons: A nerve cell that receives and sends electrical signals over long distances within the body. A neuron receives electrical input signals from sensory cells (called sensory neurons) and from other neurons. The neuron sends electrical output signals to muscle neurons (called motoneurons or motor neurons) and to other neurons. A neuron that simply signals another neuron is called an interneuron.

Perineural invasion (PNI) is a well-established factor of poor prognosis in multiple cancer types, yet its mechanism remains unclear. By using a multi-omics approach, overlay of multiple spa...
One of the primary limitations in drug discovery and toxicology research is the lack of good model systems between the single cell level and animal or human systems. This is especially true...

Neural organoids derived from patient-specific iPSC lines can help open doors toward studying human brain development, physiology, and disease progression. The increased cell-cell interacti...
Digital SPR (dSPR) is a next-generation technology for characterizing biomolecular interactions. By combining digital microfluidics (DMF) with localized SPR (LSPR), digital SPR systems can e...
Deciphering somatic mosaicism in healthy tissues and clonal diversity in tumors necessitates single-cell analysis. High-quality genomic and transcriptomic data at the single-cell level depen...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) belongs the group of synucleinopathies characterized by progressive aggregation of the neuronal protein alpha-synuclein (asyn). Diagnosis and evidence of disea...
The ability to record every spike from every neuron in a behaving animal is one of the holy grails of neuroscience. Here, Alison Hanson discusses a collaborative effort aimed at coming one s...
To make movement and foraging decisions in a naturalistic environment, multiple neural populations must work synergistically to produce successful actions. These decisions span multiple scal...
Brain organoids are self-assembled three-dimensional cellular aggregates with cell types and tissue architectures that resemble the embryonic human brain. As they recapitulate many key featu...
