The process of “epigenetic memory” in nerve cells plays a key role in learning ability, memory function, and healthy brain ...

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them—an effect called infantile amnesia. A ...

Previous work from the Chandel laboratory had demonstrated mitochondrial ETC function was required for the proliferation of CD8 + T-cells, immune cells that help fight cancer and viral infection by ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

Even when immune memory cells form in the lung after influenza infection, insufficient dietary iron leaves them less able to mount a strong antiviral response, revealing how nutrition can shape ...

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Rather than coursing through the bloodstream-as many T cells ...

They found that naïve cells specifically could be boosted by targeting genes like RUNX2. The cells also lived longer and reproduced more quickly than memory cells. "These epigenetic differences can be ...
