(Science China Press) The temporarily of links encodes the ordering and causality of interactions between nodes and has a profound effect on network dynamics and function, however it is challenging to predict temporal li...

Remdesivir, a drug initially developed to fight Ebola and currently being fast-tracked into trials for COVID-19, is highly effective at stopping the replication mechanism of coronavirus. The drug tricks the virus by mimi...

The first sign of trouble for a patient with a growing brain tumor is often a seizure. Such seizures have long been considered a side effect of the tumor. But now a joint team of Columbia engineers and cancer researchers...

Scientists may have solved one of the most puzzling and persistent mysteries in neuroscience: why some people are 'right-brained' while others are 'left-brained.' The answer lies in how certain genes on each side of the ...

A new study shows that transposable elements play an important role in regulating genetic expression with implications to advance the understanding of genetic evolution.

Blood pressure readings taken from neuroscience intensive care unit (NSICU) patients had marked differences between opposite sides of the body and different anatomical sites in each individual.

Researchers are developing ultraviolet LEDs that have the ability to decontaminate surfaces -- and potentially air and water -- that have come in contact with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Researchers have developed a simple method for preparing 3D keratin scaffold models which can be used to study the regeneration of tissue.

Until now, the immune sensor TLR8 has remained in the shadows of science. A research team has now discovered how this sensor plays an important role in defending human cells against intruders. The enzymes RNaseT2 and RNa...

Researchers have been able to identify and track the exchange of genes among bacteria that allow them to become resistant to drugs, according to a new study.

The discovery that immune T cells have a spectrum of responsiveness could shed light on how our immune system responds to infections and cancer, and what goes wrong in immune diseases. Researchers found that T cells resp...

Researchers quantified variation in life span in the fruit fly genome, providing valuable insights for understanding human disease and aging.

Molecules in tarantula venom could be used as an alternative to opioid pain killers for people seeking chronic pain relief.

People with a gene variant that puts them at high risk for Alzheimer's disease are protected from its debilitating effects if they also carry a variant of a completely different gene, investigators report in a large new ...

Long duration microgravity exposure caused expansions in the combined brain and cerebrospinal fluid volumes in astronauts.

An expert said the study can't draw this conclusion.

Coronaviruses rely on the TOP3B enzyme as a host factor, researchers report. Using artificial intelligence and molecular modeling, researchers were able to identify drug candidates that could serve as TOP3B inhibitors. S...

In an imaginative short film, Symmetry writer Sarah Charley investigates the physics of vegetables. In this stop-motion animation, Symmetry writer Sarah Charley, stuck at home in France during the global pandemic, depict...

Object and facial recognition abilities are associated with the same brain area but are characterized by different depths of cortical layers, which form at the age each ability was acquired.

Glioma brain tumors disrupt neural synchrony between bilateral cortical regions. The findings provide new insight into the association between seizures and tumor progression.

Reviewing data from past pandemics, researchers suggest some of those exposed to COVID-19 could have an increased risk of developing neurological and mental health disorders in the long term. Acute viral infections can r...

Epigenetic regulation controls whether certain genes on each side of the brain are switched on or off. The findings shed light on why Parkinson's disease often affects one side of the body before the other.
