Scientists uncover insights into neuron function by simultaneously measuring two key signals in living animals

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 fluctuate in fluorescent intensity. Using high-speed capture under a microscope, followed by image processing, researchers from Kyushu University simultaneously measured these changes, showing that the two […]

How Exercise Improves Your Brain Function

The maxim “movement is medicine” exists for a reason. When done safely and properly, physical activity can boost your moodbone health and more. While the connection between exercise and, say, muscle development is apparent, some of its benefits are less obvious. One of these relates to brain health. Research shows that exercise can lower your […]

Single-cell CAR T atlas reveals type 2 function in 8-year leukaemia remission

Samples from paediatric patients with ALL and HDs The current study is a secondary investigation using patient samples collected from an existing clinical trial for which the University of Pennsylvania Institutional Board provided insight. Pre-infusion samples of CAR T cells were obtained from patients with relapsed/refractory B-ALL, participating in either a phase I/IIA pilot clinical […]
