Scientists in Sweden led the study, published Thursday in Science. They found abundant signs of neural stem cells growing in ...

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

Water and air pose completely different challenges to animals on a number of levels.

During therapy, some cancer cells evolve to escape elimination. Newer anticancer drugs that can overcome this resistance are necessary. Now, researchers from Japan demonstrate that aromatic ...

A Bermudian played a key role in groundbreaking research that led to the understanding of how a devastating cancer can spread ...

The human brain is known to store various memories for long periods of time, progressively learning from new experiences and ...

A key feature that appears to facilitate neuroplasticity is the distinct nature of neurons compared to other cells.

Cancer plasticity allows tumor cells to change their identity, evade therapies, and adapt to environmental pressures, contributing to treatment resistance and metastasis. New research is targeting ...

Cancer cells don’t just shape shift. They state shift. That is, they can embody different cell states, or types, that possess different degrees of plasticity or hereditability. If cancer cells ...

When we put young stem cells in an aged environment, they lost their regeneration capacity; conversely, when we put aged stem cells in a young niche, it rescued their regeneration capacity. 6 This isn ...

For some tumors with plasticity, taking breaks from treatment helps cancer cells become sensitive again, joining forces with other sensitive cells to suppress resistant cell growth.
