First autonomous cargo-sorting DNA nanobot developed.

Robots are an important type of molecular machine which automatically carry out complex nanomechanical tasks. DNA molecules are excellent materials for building molecular robots, because their geometric, thermodynamic, and kinetic properties

Study identifies previously unknown role of microglia in neurodevelopment.

The brain consists of two major types of cells, neurons and glia cells, which provide support and protection for neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems. While neurons have

Researchers identify the control mechanism of synapse formation.

The brain controls all functions of the body and interprets information from the outside world. Intelligence, creativity, emotion, and memory are a few of the many things governed by the

Controlling a single brain chemical expands window for learning language, music in animal model.

Learning language or music is usually a breeze for children, however, as even young adults know, that capacity declines dramatically with age. Now, a study from researchers at St. Jude

Magnetised bacteriophages successfully punch through biofilms to reach targets.

A vast number of the pathogens are grouped into communities called biofilms. Biofilms are where bacteria join together on a surface and start to form a protective matrix around their

Two new network of neurons in the brainstem identified in appetite regulation.

Hunger, driven by negative energy balance, elicits the craving and consumption of food. Whilst this response is in part mediated by neurons in the hypothalamus, the role of specific cell

Neuron-like cells provide nervous system with window into the gut.

Dietary, microbial, and inflammatory factors modulate the gut-brain information highway, ranging from metabolism to cognition. The gut epithelium is a principal site for detecting such agents, however, precisely how it

Researchers identify previously unknown telomere-specific protein.

Telomeres are found at the end of chromosomes and represent the clock of a cell. A person is born with telomeres of a certain length, and every time a cell

Nano-prosthetics to repair neural circuitry.

Neurons are continuously exposed to signals generated by the extracellular environment at the nanoscale to drive key biological tasks. This ability has been exploited to engineer interfaces with nanostructures with

Study identifies the brain cells which regulate the Pavlovian response.

In his famous experiment, Ivan Pavlov rang a bell each time he fed his dogs. Soon, the dogs began drooling in anticipation when they heard the bell, even before food
