Physiology is the branch of the biological sciences that deals with the life-supporting functions and processes of living organisms or their parts. The study of physiology aims to understand how ...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have shown that a single, standard silicon transistor, the core component of microchips found in computers, smartphones, and nearly all modern ...

Shedding light on how the brain fine-tunes its wiring during learning, the team discovered that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow distinct rules. With the ability to see ...

SGLTs are a class of molecules that transport glucose across membranes. SGLT2 is mainly in the kidneys. So, remember from physiology that glucose is freely filtered at the glomerulus and then the body ...

Metabolism is known to be linked to lifespan in some species, though it remains unclear how this effect is mediated. Here they show that reduced pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity lowers ...

Using survival models, we assessed the effect of advanced BA on incident neurological diagnoses, including all-cause and cause-specific dementia, ischaemic stroke, Parkinson’s disease and motor neuron ...

Artificial intelligence and phylogenetics helped scientists revise the evolutionary timeline of bacteria.

Apr. 16, 2025 — A new study suggests that climate trauma -- such as experiencing a devastating wildfire -- can have lasting effects on cognitive ...

He says that the differences in our brains that make us human are more likely to have arisen from large-scale changes than from subtle changes in neuron shape. "I don't think it's a very big part ...
