We recently demonstrated that the inhibitory receptor T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT) assembles in nanoscale clusters at the T cell surface upon ligation with its ligand CD155.

The human brain is made up of billions of nerve cells (neurons) that communicate with each other in vast, interconnected networks. For the brain to function reliably, there must be a fine balance ...

A new study published in the journal Neurobiology of Disease has found that an overabundance of inhibitory connections in a ...

Brain circuits display modular architecture at different scales of organization. Such neural assemblies are typically associated to functional specialization but the mechanisms leading to their ...

FMI researchers have provided new insights into how the brain organizes and processes memories, thanks to a study that looks at the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurons. The paper is ...

To stay in balance, the brain depends on two types of neurons: Excitatory neurons (in white), which increase activity, and inhibitory neurons (in black), which damp down signals. Scientists have now ...

First insights into how excitatory and inhibitory brain signals change as people age using wearable scanner. ScienceDaily. Retrieved June 15, 2026 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2025 / 04 / ...

From Santiago Ramón y Cajal’s hand came branches and whorls, spines and webs. Now-famous drawings by the neuroanatomist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries showed, for the first time, the ...

Researchers use zebrafish models to discover that the RLS risk gene MEIS1 regulates Purkinje cell survival and motor control.

Leukemia inhibitory factor can either boost or slow cancer cell growth, depending on the type of cancer. It may have future uses in stem cell transplants, treating cancer, and as a cancer biomarker.
