Cholesterol could possibly be linked to increased risks of cognitive decline and dementia. Deposits of proteins known as tau—associated with the onset of Alzheimer's disease—in the brain are connected ...

When triggered by an odor, rapid changes in membrane voltage and intracellular calcium ion levels occur in nematode olfactory neurons, causing membrane voltage sensors and calcium ion sensors to ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...

Since the 1990s, scientists have known cholesterol is important in Alzheimer's, but they gained little traction in their efforts to understand the relationship between the lipid and the disease.
