Neuroscientists observe electrical signals in the soma and dendrites of living mice

The human brain contains billions of neurons, specialized nerve cells that communicate with each other via electrical and chemical signals. Every neuron is made up of its body (i.e., soma), where most cellular processes occur; a long projection called an axon that sends signals t

Novel microenvironment-targeted therapy for bone marrow recovery after injury

A healthy bone marrow (BM) produces nearly all types of cells in our blood. Many blood disorders occur when hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the BM malfunction. Treatment with radiation or chemotherapy for many blood disorders and cancers can, as a side effect, deplete not only
