Research shows brain cells move like a two-stroke engine

Following the often-quoted advice of Yogi Berra — "You can observe a lot by just watching" — Rockefeller University scientists show that nerve cells in the developing brains of humans and other mammals move in a two-part "step" led by a structure within the cell called the centrosome.

Researchers are making inroads to understanding what makes brain tumors so hard to treat

When he's not in the operating room performing surgery, Donald M. O'Rourke, M.D., Associate Professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine is fighting brain tumors from the research laboratory bench.

First-ever microfluidic BioMEMS device to study the mechanisms of cell migration and deformation

Cancer cells have the ability to invade blood vessels and find their way into the bloodstream. Once there, these infected cells can easily travel to other parts of the body and attack healthy organs.

New technology to measure the sensitivity of nerve fibers that wire up the brain during development

Researchers at Georgetown University have developed a novel technology to precisely measure the sensitivity of nerve fibers that wire up the brain during development. Through use of this technology, they discovered that these fibers, or axons, possess an incredible sensitivity to molecular guidance cues that direct the axon’s route to its desired destination in the brain.
