An often-ignored type of cell in the brain plays a dynamic and surprisingly complex role in our ability to process information, according to new research.

The slice of code — a stretch of DNA that acts like a dial to turn up the expression of certain genes — expanded the outer ...

It also efficiently transduces neurons in cortical regions of the brain that are implicated in many diseases. Robust transduction of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived human neurons and ...

But sometimes it triggers severe, even fatal disease by chewing ulcers in the colon, liquefying parts of the liver and invading the brain and lungs. “It can kill anything you throw at it, any kind of ...
