Computer scientists have taken a deep learning method that has revolutionized face recognition and other image-based applications in recent years and redirected its power to explore the relationship between genes.

You may thank Formula E electric racing technology for some of the advances that ultimately make electric vehicles practical on ordinary highways. Just as automakers have sponsored racing programs to help perfect advance...

Using a targeted gene epigenome editing approach in the developing mouse brain, researchers reversed one gene mutation that leads to the genetic disorder WAGR syndrome, which causes intellectual disability and obesity in...

The United States in the grip of several simultaneously occurring opioid epidemics, rather than just a single crisis. The epidemics came to light after the researchers analyzed county-level data on drug overdose deaths. ...

In mouse models of Alzheimer's disease, the investigational drug candidates known as CMS121 and J147 improve memory and slow the degeneration of brain cells. Now, researchers have shown how these compounds can also slow ...

A recent study has found that the presence of and search for meaning in life are important for health and well-being, though the relationships differ in adults younger and older than age 60.

Scientists have pioneered how to get very detailed transcriptomics data from gut organoids, and regulatory networks to analyse them -- establishing a pipeline that can be used to explore the causes of Inflammatory Bowel ...

New research specifically looks at side effects that impact children and adolescents being treated for anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

A previously unknown mechanism that suppresses satiety signals from the small intestine is the main finding of a new study. This may explain, first, satiety disorders in obesity and diabetes and, second, the prompt healt...

Children with Type 1 diabetes show subtle but important differences in brain function compared with those who don't have the disease, a study has shown.

Researchers have discovered how viruses that specifically kill bacteria can outwit bacteria by hiding from their defences, findings which are important for the development of new antimicrobials based on viruses and provi...

Researchers have mapped nine functional networks in the deep-brain structures of 10 healthy people, an accomplishment that could lead to improvements in deep-brain stimulation therapy for severe cases of Parkinson's dise...

A hand-held spectrum analyzer series (Spectrum Compact) coupled with NEON Signal Mapper software delivers real-time geo-referenced signal data that can be visualized both locally by the user and remotely on a 3D display....

This year’s IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (December 7-11, 2019) played host to presentations describing advances in gallium-nitride technology that may lead to smaller, more integrated power circuitry suc...
