Small cell lung cancer cells that metastasize to the brain cozy up to neurons and form working electrical connections, called ...

Cutaneous squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) is primarily caused by oncogenesis mediated by ultraviolet radiation, and β-human papillomavirus (β-HPV) is believed to be a mere facilitator that is ...

A small but enthusiastic group of neuroscientists is exhuming overlooked experiments and performing new ones to explore whether cells record past experiences — fundamentally challenging what memory is ...

Scientists have uncovered how stem cells in the olfactory system continually regenerate neurons responsible for our sense of smell.

Heme binding to a bacterial transcription factor is critical for hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) signaling, report researchers from ...

Autophagy—meaning "self-eating" in Greek—is a fundamental cellular mechanism that preserves cell health by recycling and ...

Small cell lung cancer often metastasizes to the brain. A Stanford Medicine-led study shows the cancer cells form synapses with neurons, and signaling across these synapses encourages tumor growth.
