11-04-22 April 21, 2011 (BRONX, NY) Researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have for the first time observed the activity of a single gene in living cells. In an unprecedented study, published in the April 22 online edition o...

11-04-18 For the first time, scientists have made star-shaped, biodegradable polymers（聚合物，高分子） that can self-assemble into hollow, nanofiber spheres, and when the spheres are injected with cells into wounds, these spheres biodegrade, but the cells l...

11-04-07 Following years of futile（无用的） attempts, new research from the Monell Center demonstrates that living human taste cells can be maintained in culture for at least seven months. The findings provide scientists with a valuable tool to learn about...

11-03-28 Studies done by Mark Lusk and colleagues at the Colorado School of Mines could significantly improve the efficiency of solar cells. Their latest work describes how the size of light-absorbing particles--quantum dots--affects the particles' ability t...

11-03-28 Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have discovered a way that mutations in a gene called LRRK2 may cause the most common inherited form of Parkinson's disease. The study, published online this month in the journal Public Library of Scienc...

11-03-28 The first study to examine the activity of hundreds of individual human brain cells during seizures has found that seizures begin with extremely diverse（不同的，变化多的） neuronal activity, contrary to the classic view that they are characterized...

11-03-21 You may remember the color of your loved one's eyes for years. But how? Scientists believe that long-term potentiation（增强作用） (LTP) the long-lasting increase of signals across a connection between brain cells -- underlies our ability to remembe...

11-03-08 All our daily activities, from driving to work to solving a crossword puzzle, depend on signals carried along the body's vast network of neurons. Propagation（传播，繁殖） of these signals is, in turn, dependent on myriad（无数的） small molecules w...

11-02-28 The number of connections between nerve cells in the brain can be regulated by an immune system molecule, according to a new study from UC Davis. The research, published Feb. 27 in the journal Nature Neuroscience, reveals a potential link between im...

11-02-17 When doctors discover high concentrations of regulatory T cells in the tumors of breast cancer patients, the prognosis is often grim（冷酷的，糟糕的） , though why exactly has long been unclear. Now new research at the University of California, San...
