Of the three main types of synapses in the brain, glutamatergic synapse formation is the best understood. Thus, scientists can gain an understanding of neural circuitry.

Although bacterial reproduction results in the generation of clones, prokaryotes can undergo genetic recombination through transformation, transduction, and conjugation.

Many axons of projection neurons in the brain are myelinated, yet in spite of a massive body of research, many of the underlying mechanisms are still unknown.

Bacteriophages are a special type of virus that exclusively infects bacterial cells. Here's how they recognize, take over and ultimately kill their host bacteria.

Advancements in medical research build upon previous findings. The link between a physiological system and disease begins with understanding the system.

The species concept of stable genetic composition does not apply to the complex, promiscuous community of the digestive tract. The gut environment defines gut flora.

Tyrosine kinase signaling is but one path activated by angiotensin II to regulate fluid balance, cell growth, and more.

The cochlea, a structure in the inner ear, changes sound waves into electrical signals that get sent to the brain. The cochlea also determines the pitch of sounds.

Natural antibiotics are products of bacteria and fungi. In the microbial world, chemical battles are fought and microbes have learned well how to protect and defend.

Zinc is a transition metal that is found in nature combined with other elements. It has many commercial uses and is an essential dietary nutrient.

Angiotensin II (Ang II) is the main active peptide in the renin-angiotensin system, but it may play a role in cardiovascular disease.

The stability of cell shape and structure are maintained by cytoskeletal proteins that interact with and transport required functional molecules.

Throughout the history of medicine, different cultures have used and understood the power of crystals for healing. Today, quartz crystal healing is being rediscovered.

The distinction between species of sexually reproducing organisms is quite clear, but how are the lines drawn for organisms, like bacteria, that reproduce as clones?

The olfactory system consists of a collection of odor receptors that send a message to the brain when they detect a smell. This is just one of the chemical senses.
