One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

Mohamady El-Gaby receives funding from the Wellcome Trust. For decades, neuroscientists have developed mathematical frameworks to explain how brain activity drives behaviour in predictable, repetitive ...

Cells are constantly on the move, whether in a developing embryo or metastatic cancer. But how do cells adapt to new environments they encounter? Traditionally, scientists have believed that cells ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Whether or not we grow new brain cells as adults has been the subject of an ongoing and often contentious debate. Now, evidence suggests that we can. This could help answer one of neuroscience’s most ...

When cells are healthy, we don't expect them to suddenly change cell types. A skin cell on your hand won't naturally morph into a brain cell, and vice versa. That's thanks to epigenetic memory, which ...
