A mutation switches the turbo on during virus replication.

Sestrin, a naturally occurring compound, mimics many of the effects of exercise in mouse and fly models. The findings could help with the development of medications to help combat muscle wasting associated with aging and...

Batteries are the key to decarbonizing both transport and the grid, but today's technology is still a long way from living up to this promise. IBM seems to have decided its computing chops are the key to solving the prob...

Neuroscientists have discovered that eye and brain pressure are physiologically connected.

New research claims that Leonardo da Vinci's optics-breaking orb in the "Salvator Mundi" was a realistic portrayal.

Scientists have discovered the first biomarker unique to PTSD patients and they have created a peptide shown in a preclinical trial to treat and even prevent PTSD.

The fight against drug-resistant pathogens remains an intense one. While the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) 2019 'biggest threats' report reveals an overall decrease in drug-resistant microbe-related deaths as compa...

Specifically programmed materials can, under specific conditions, encourage stem cells to transform into bone cells. To do this, scientists implemented a so-called shape-memory polymer in stem cell research.

A new study has uncovered a genetic anomaly associated with poor response to a common asthma treatment. The findings showed that asthmatic patients with the gene variant are less likely to respond to glucocorticoids and ...

A new technology for detecting low glucose levels via ECG using a noninvasive wearable sensor, which with the latest artificial intelligence can detect hypoglycemic events from raw ECG signals has been made.

In a study using brain scans from nearly 10 thousand adolescents across the country, investigators show that risk of lead exposure is associated with altered brain anatomy and cognitive deficits in children from low inco...

Researchers have developed a machine that repairs injured human livers and keeps them alive outside the body for one week. This breakthrough may increase the number of available organs for transplantation saving many liv...

Knowing that your unborn fetus has congenital heart disease causes such pronounced maternal stress, anxiety and depression that these women's fetuses end up with impaired development in key brain regions before they are ...

Scientists have identified specific biological pathways along which individuals age over time.

Researchers recently found that Sestrin, a naturally occurring protein in the body, mimicked the benefits of exercise in flies and mice.

Fruit fly study reveals suppression of a genetic switch boosts long-term memory.

Study demonstrates a molecular mechanism that contributes to the development of PTSD. The findings could lead to therapeutic interventions for preventing or treating the disorder.

OCIAD1, a protein commonly associated with ovarian cancer, contributes to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease by impairing mitochondrial function, leading to synaptic damage and neural vulnerability.

Ah, spaghetti. There's just something about the loveable dish that's captured popular attention for decades, from the BBC's spaghetti tree hoax to that famous kiss scene in Lady and the Tramp. But it's also kept research...

Marijuana use rates are increasing in college students in states where recreational use has been legalized. Following cannabis legalization, binge drinking rates between the cohort group fell significantly.

Nutria, also known as coypu or swamp rats, are large rodents that wreak havoc on their non-native ecosystems.

The activity of the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) during motivated control reflects the calculation of surprise. The findings take cognitive control research to new heights by providing insight into how the dAC...
