The cell nucleus is the site of many important biological functions of the eukaryotic cell. These processes include transcription, replication, splicing and ribosome biogenesis. The effect of ...

Regulator of chromosome structure crucial to healthy brain function and nerve development Cohesin protein identified as key to control of chromosome structure underlying nerve cell network ...

The nerve cell must target each of them to distinct synaptic sites that oppose incoming nerve cell contacts that release the correct transmitter to activate that receptor type.

Coordination and control - the nervous system - AQA The structure and function of the nervous system The nervous system enables humans to react to their surroundings and to coordinate their behaviour.

The study shows that an enzyme which usually controls the destruction of protein components has an unexpected function in nerve cells: it controls the structure of the cytoskeleton and thus ...

The APCs Of Nerve Cell Function Date: June 19, 2008 Source: Tufts University, Health Sciences Summary: Best known for its role in colorectal cancer, the protein adenomatous polyposis coli (APC ...

Researchers have shown how psychedelic drugs physically change the structure of brain cells, a change that can have surprising benefits for patients with anxiety or depression ...

A group of nerve cells known for their role in detecting chemical irritation, tissue damage, heat, and pressure now emerge as critical defenders against the worst ravages of the flu caused by an ...

NERVE fibres have become greatly elongated for their function of conduction, but each yet remains essentially a bag, surrounded by a membrane, with the nucleus separated in a special region, the ...

Cells that control hunger have a strong influence on the brain’s higher cortical regions. The findings could lead to new treatments for psychiatric illness.
