For decades, scientists have focused on the brain as the primary location for memory storage and processing. However, recent groundbreaking research from is challenging this long-standing assumption, ...

Traditionally, memory has been considered a function exclusive to the brain. However, groundbreaking research led by Dr. Nikolay Kukushkin at New York University (NYU) reveals that non-neural human ...

Memory doesn’t live only in the brain. Scientists are uncovering signs that cells throughout the body can remember, too. These findings are starting to challenge old ideas about how and where memory ...

In wound healing, immune response, and cancer metastasis, cells migrate through the body – often squeezing through narrow, confined spaces. Together with experimental collaborators, Professor David ...

When we form a memory, brain cells need to deliver supplies to strengthen specific neural connections. A new study from MPFI and Weill Cornell Medicine has revealed how two cellular switches, Rab4 and ...

In our memory are such facts as: Albany is the capital of New York; Jefferson was the third president; summer follows spring; I attended Columbus School. These facts bring up no reaction in your body.

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

In a wholly new approach to cancer treatment, Northwestern University biomedical engineers have doubled the effectiveness of chemotherapy in animal experiments. Instead of attacking cancer directly, ...
