When both the androgen and the glucocorticoid receptor were activated simultaneously, the number of binding sites for the glucocorticoid receptor in prostate cancer cells doubled.

A new neuroimaging study published in Molecular Psychiatry provides evidence that anorexia nervosa is associated with altered activity in the brain’s opioid system. Women with anorexia had higher ...

Background: The brain vasculature is a key player in neurological manifestations of COVID-19. Infection of brain endothelial cells with SARS-CoV-2 and circulating cytokines may cause blood-brain ...

This process resembles that of the outer nerve layer of the gut, which controls intestinal movements—the myenteric layer—but differs from how nerve cells in the brain develop.

Gene delivery systems can target specific brain cells, a breakthrough that could lead to treatments for Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Research teams have created a versatile set of gene delivery systems that can reach different neural cell types in the human brain and spinal cord with exceptional accuracy. These delivery systems ...

Although we knocked out the TGFβ receptor in endothelial cells (ECs) and observed a reduction in the formation of E-pericytes (Figure 6D and 6G), it would be more informative to specifically knockout ...

Nucleocytoplasmic transport of transcription factors is vital for normal cellular function, and its breakdown is a major contributing factor in many diseases. The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is an ...

To uncover the brain cells, networks and algorithms that perform these roles, we studied mice, training the animals to complete a task. The task had a sequence of actions with a repeating structure.
