Biologists have discovered a unique nerve structure in the mouth and tongue of rorqual whales that can double in length and then recoil like a bungee cord. The stretchy nerves explain how the massive ...

Fin whales use two neatly packed levels of nested folds to protect the nerves along the floor of their mouth during lunge feeding, according to new research from University of British Columbia ...

Researchers have identified cellular-level changes in nerve structure and function that may contribute to the development of migraine headaches. Nerve specimens from patients with migraine show ...

Research showed that a regulatory protein of chromosome structure (cohesin) is essential for proper maintenance of gene expression in the developing brain. Reduced cohesin impaired development of ...

VANCOUVER – University of British Columbia (UBC) researchers have discovered what they are calling a “unique nerve structure” in the mouth and tongue of rorqual whales – the largest of the baleen ...

In an international collaboration led by Lund University in Sweden, researchers have used synchrotron light to study what happens to the nerves in diabetes. The technique shows the 3D-structure of ...
