“It is no use asking for the impossible, such as, say, the exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” Crick wrote in Scientific America ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A comprehensive wiring diagram and functional map of a mouse brain's visual cortex, the largest to date, has been created from a cubic millimeter of tissue. This ...

Cytokines are well-known players in the immune response, helping to control inflammation and coordinate the responses of other immune cells. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that some ...

A team of researchers from the Rice Biotech Launch Pad at Rice University has developed an implantable "cytokine factory" that safely triggers potent immune responses against hard-to-treat cancers ...

The work, conducted in mice and funded in part by the National Institutes of Health, pinpoints the molecular roots of the phenomenon and shows how immune molecules called cytokines influence brain ...

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is characterized by the deposition of IgA1-containing immune complexes in the glomerular mesangium. The pathogenesis follows a 4-hit cascade: ...
