Treating mouse models of astrocytomas with a new combination therapy resulted in tumor regression in 60% of the mice.

Hurricanes have more than doubled in strength since 1955, increasing at a rate of 6mph every decade. Now researchers better understand exactly why.

Ancient malted barley grains found in Denmark suggest that people there were likely brewing beer at least two millennia ago

People with ADHD and disruptive behavioral disorders share 80% of genetic variants associated with antisocial behavior and aggression.

For the first time, DNA more than a million years old has been obtained from ancient animal remains - and it drastically alters the story of mammoth evolution

More focused needs to be placed on neural variability to better understand how behavior emerges from the brain.

Some neurons have the ability to detect and compensate for neighboring neurons, while others do not. The findings shed new light on synaptic plasticity.

Scientists have used cutting-edge research in quantum computation and quantum technology to pioneer a radical new approach to determining how our Universe works at its most fundamental level.

New research demonstrates the ability of dogs to detect aggressive prostate cancer from urine samples and suggests that an artificial neural network could learn from this olfactory ability, with an eye toward replicating...

A new system can detect the chemical and microbial content of an air sample with even greater sensitivity than a dog's nose. Researchers coupled this to a machine-learning process that can identify the distinctive charac...

Muscle soreness and achy joints are common symptoms among COVID-19 patients. But for some people, symptoms are more severe, long lasting and even bizarre, including rheumatoid arthritis flares, autoimmune myositis or 'CO...

Ground-breaking research has revealed for the first time that the immune system directly links personality to long-term risk of early death.

Researchers have developed a novel proton therapy technique to more specifically target cancer cells that resist other forms of treatment. The technique is called LEAP, an acronym for 'biologically enhanced particle ther...

A never-before-seen biodiversity pattern of coral reef fishes suggests some fishes might be exceptionally vulnerable to environmental change. It highlights, for the first time, a unique link between the diet and distribu...

Researchers have developed an extremely sensitive miniaturized optical fiber sensor that could one day be used to measure small pressure changes in the body.

Study finds the immune system links personality to the long-term risk of mortality. Those who score higher on the personality trait of conscientiousness tend to live longer because their immune systems have lower levels ...

Prolonged anesthesia significantly alters the synaptic architecture of the brain, regardless of age.
