A new estimation of the strength of the magnetic field around the muon--a sub-atomic particle similar to, but heavier than, an electron--closes the gap between theory and experimental measurements, bringing it in line wi...

A newly developed reparative hydrogel, which researchers are dubbing "brain glue", protects against loss of brain tissue following a TBI and can aid in functional neural repair.

miRNA29 is a key cellular switch in controlling late-stage brain development. Deleting miRNA29 in mice resulted in problems associated with a range of neurodevelopmental problems, including autism and epilepsy.

Sutures are used to close wounds and speed up the natural healing process, but they can also complicate matters by causing damage to soft tissues with their stiff fibers. To remedy the problem, researchers have developed...
