WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers have learned the mechanisms behind a common type of failure in lithium-ion batteries caused by the formation and growth of “dendrites,” findings that could aid in ...

An interactive toolbox for standardizing, validating, simulating, reducing, and exploring detailed biophysical models that can be used to reveal how morpho-electric properties map to dendritic and ...

Immunotherapy has transformed healthcare and how physicians treat patients. Various forms of immunotherapy have been ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Neurons in the human brain receive electrical signals from thousands of other cells, and long neural extensions called dendrites play a critical role in incorporating all of that ...

While the reason why Samsung Galaxy Note 7s have been catching fire has yet to be confirmed, the focus is on the device’s lithium-ion batteries. And those familiar with this technology have begun ...

Researchers have demonstrated how dendrites -- branch-like extensions that protrude from neurons -- help neurons perform computations on information that comes in from other parts of the brain. Within ...

The brain is an incredibly complex organ. It powers and controls every bodily function, processes thoughts and memories, and learns and adapts to whatever we do and wherever we go. While there is a ...

Dendritic cells are divided into Type 1 (DC1) and Type 2 (DC2) dendritic cells. Each type fulfills different functions: DC1 provide an immune response to bacteria and viruses, DC2 protect against ...
