In mammals, circadian rhythms are controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) – a small part of the ... including a higher risk of cardiometabolic disease and type 2 diabetes. Although these ...

This study provides convincing evidence for functional subpopulations of β-cells responsible for Ca2+ signal initiation and maintenance using novel three-dimensional light sheet microscopy imaging and ...

Hypoglycemia is an extremely common side effect of insulin therapy experienced mainly by patients with type 1 diabetes ...

In total, GWAS data from 74,898 participants of European ancestry were analyzed to investigate the genetic architecture of nine subcortical brain structures, including the nucleus accumbens ...

Understanding the mechanics behind transcription-dependent motions of single genes in the nucleus might be critical for understanding the human genome in health and disease." The human genome ...

This is why people have always thought that every ribosome is the same, and that they just passively churn out protein as dictated by the cell's nucleus. We've now shown that this is not ...

For many years, scientists believed that fundamental particles like protons and neutrons that form an atomic nucleus, can’t be divided further into smaller units. However, in the following years ...

12). These detectors scan for dark matter’s interactions with the nucleus of a xenon atom. Reader Robert Walty wondered how that could work. Doesn’t dark matter interact with normal matter ...

This view of the atomic nucleus changed when James Chadwick discovered the existence of the neutron in 1932, for which he won the Nobel Prize three years later. Not too long afterward, scientists ...

The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons. It would seem, therefore, that it should not be difficult to ...

The temporary pair of correlated nucleons is highlighted in purple. The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons.

As a candidate for this brain mechanism, they focused on estrogen receptor beta-positive neurons, which are widely distributed in the dorsal raphe nucleus of the midbrain (DRN-ERβ+ cells).
