Study Redefines Structural Framework of Primate Cone Photoreceptor Outer Segments

For over 60 years, scientists have debated a basic structural question about cone photoreceptors, the cells that let vertebrates see color: are their light-sensing disk membranes closed off inside the cell, or are they open to the extracellular space?

Hybrid Microscopy Platform Tracks Neuronal Activity and Oxygen Delivery Simultaneously

The brain is a black box of densely packed neurons, blood vessels and immune cells, all locked away in a sealed skull. Washington University in St. Louis’ Song Hu has dedicated his career to unlocking that puzzle box by developing new ways to “see” inside, and his team’s newest innovation could give researchers a new view of how brain cells and blood vessels work together and what happens when the coupling between the two breaks down.

Scientists Identify Molecular Mechanism Behind Persistent Obesity and Weight Relapse

Two enduring biological mysteries have remained unsolved for decades: why almost everyone who loses weight gains it back, no matter how they lost it, and why obesity passes from mother to child at rates that diet and environment cannot explain. Now, scientists from Harrington Discovery Institute at University Hospitals and Case Western Reserve University have identified why.
