When myelin breaks down, white matter in the brain deteriorates, a change commonly seen with aging. At the same time, microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, can shift from protective responders ...

Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

Ubiquinol can also support overall well-being during and after menopause. In one study, 80% of women with menopausal symptoms who took 200 mg of Kaneka Ubiquinol ® for at least 60 days reported a ...

The field of cellular neuroscience continues to reveal the intricate regulation of neural and glial cell function by water and ion channels, transporters, ...

A new study describes a technique that rejuvenates aging blood-forming stem cells and could help reduce the risk of age-related blood disorders.

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue ...

The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...

Running extreme distances may strain more than just muscles and joints. New research suggests ultramarathons can alter red ...

Pain is something most people experience after an injury, whether from a sprained ankle, surgery or car accident. Normally pain fades as the body heals. But it may last longer in women than in men, ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified the cellular mechanisms that cause immune cells to differentiate and ultimately lose function during viral infection, findings that could improve ...

Learn more about the impact ultramarathon running has on red blood cells and how it may do more harm than good for the body.
