New research identifies a specific neural pathway (Pdyn+ neurons) that carries stress signals from the brain to the skin, triggering eczema flares by activating eosinophils.
A cluster of recent studies has sharpened the scientific picture of how T cells switch on, tracking the molecular signals ...
A KAIST research team led by Professor Won Do Heo (Department of Biological Sciences) has developed an optogenetic platform, RELISR (REversible LIght-induced Store and Release), that enables precise ...
“Wet dog shakes” – a common reflex behavior shared among many hairy mammals and designed to expel water and irritants from their coats – happens when particular mechanoreceptors are activated, ...
A novel optogenetic screening platform enables control over previously intractable biological systems. Using the screening platform, scientists have been able to selectively activate the integrated ...
New research reveals how fat-rich diets silence the brain’s reward for food—and how a single molecule may reignite the pleasure of eating. Study: Changes in neurotensin signalling drive hedonic ...
