The researchers found that many of the nerve cells had breaks in the membrane that separates the nucleus from the rest of the cell. This barrier, known as the nuclear envelope, protects and ...

Researchers studied how the 3D structure of DNA in nerve cells affects their ... the 'instruction manual' of every cell, is tightly folded inside the cell nucleus. The way it unfolds or 'opens ...

They don't have a nucleus, allowing more space to carry oxygen. They are a flat disc shape with dips on both sides (biconcave) which gives them a large surface area. Nerve cells are thin and long ...

Researchers have used genetic tools to investigate how specific nerve cells in the brain respond after a spinal cord injury.

Each triangular structure, or medial terminal nucleus, has been artificially colored to show the axons of nerve cells connected to the retina. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible ...

Within the nucleus, the nucleolus and a stainable ... that prevented a simple reduction to models derived from the cell theory. Nerve-cell bodies, nervous prolongations and nervous fibres were ...

Once consumed, the drug delivers a powerful stimulus to the nucleus accumbens, a cluster of nerve cells below the cerebral cortex, which responds quickly by releasing a flood of dopamine.
