Boosting mitochondrial calcium by inhibiting the LETM1 protein enhances long-term memory formation in flies and mice.

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 ...

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 ...

An international team led by Jaime de Juan-Sanz at the Paris Brain Institute has shown that slightly increasing the metabolic ...

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 ...

Previous work from the Chandel laboratory had demonstrated mitochondrial ETC function was required for the proliferation of CD8 + T-cells, immune cells that help fight cancer and viral infection by ...

After treatment, the mice’s memories were essentially shunted back into a younger state. The researchers found that ...

A multi-institutional study has mapped the genetic circuitry that determines whether CD8 killer T cells become durable immune ...
