#nervecells — Public Fediverse posts

Thomas Misgeld talks about the SyNergy #ClusterofExcellence in the new EXplained episode. The cluster explores interactions between #nervecells, #immune- and #vascularsystems with the goal to develop new therapies: https://go.tum.de/499143

"#CaribbeanBoxJellyfish can learn at a much more complex level than ever imagined—despite only having one thousand #NerveCells and no centralized #brain."

People with #Huntington’s disease lose control of their bodies and minds. The symptoms are caused by #protein clumps in the #nervecells. Supported by a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship, Andrea Quezada aims to create atomic models of these fibrils.
