Marijuana-like endocannabinoids produced by your own body—how do they travel through the brain? It turns out that these fatty messenger molecules are transported in fatty vesicles. This surprising ...

Researchers at Hudson Institute of Medical Research, working with the School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health, are ...

After the participants worked out, the researchers discovered that there was an increase in the number of neuronal vesicles, which are special cells released by the brain. Those vesicles ...

For example, in humans, only a few cell types have motile cilia, namely sperm, epithelia cells in the bronchi and oviducts, and ependymal cells that line brain vesicles. But virtually all other ...

New research found that working out starts a chain reaction that can lower your risk of dementia. Here's exactly how it works—and how long it takes.

During the first 72 hours in particular, extracellular vesicles—nanoparticles enclosed in cell membranes—play a significant role in the embryonic development of zebrafish.
