Links have been reported between schizophrenia and proteins produced by the immune system that can act against one's own body, known as autoantibodies. In a study published in Brain Behavior and ...

Cells attach to each other through carefully arranged molecules. A research team has now found that the way they organize to find their proper places is similar to how grease drops self-organize in ...

The cells of all animals—including humans—are characterized by their ability to adhere particularly well to surfaces in their environment. This mechanically stable adhesion enables the development of ...

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...
