The membrane-bound organelle appears to play a huge role in helping cells sort, discard, and recycle their contents. It's ...

Imagine you open up the hood of your car and take a look inside. You see an engine, the battery, various fluid reservoirs; all the normal stuff… and then it catches your eye. An extra component, never ...

Researchers at the University of Helsinki have made a breakthrough in understanding what neural mechanisms allow the extreme sensitivity of human vision in darkness. The new research shows that ...

The researchers cultivated human stem cell-derived neurons in the lab for around 80 days before grafting them into the brains of adult rats that had sustained injuries to their visual cortex.

The Visual Guide to Human Cells is a fascinating resource that provides a detailed overview of cell structure and organelles throughout the cell cycle and is well worth a visit for the images alone.

Newborns typically have poor visual acuity and poor color vision because their retinal cone cells ... system. To test their hypothesis, the researchers trained computational models of vision on a ...

In a study publishing in the journal Cell Stem Cell on February 2, researchers show that brain organoids—clumps of lab-grown neurons—can integrate with rat brains and respond to visual ...

The research findings challenge previous conceptions of how the visual system works. “This research is a major step forward in visual neuroscience, providing new insight into how the human visual ...

Because organoids have a structure of their own, scientists figured they would integrate better into the brain than loose cells. Attempts to transplant human brain organoids into young mice and rats ...
