One of the most widely accepted models for how cells remember their identity may be incorrect. This is shown in a new study ...

Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

It's common knowledge that our brains—and, specifically, our brain cells—store memories. But a team of scientists has discovered that cells from other parts of the body also perform a memory function, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Memory T cells are a special type of white blood cell that "remember" past infections and vaccines, helping our bodies to quickly respond if we encounter the same germs again. These cells are found ...
