Researchers have identified how the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB) can evolve rapidly in response to new environments.

Researchers present an all-atom molecular dynamic simulation of synaptic vesicle fusion.

People with primary progressive aphasia who have difficulty producing complex words as a result of their condition, compensate by stringing together a sequence of simpler words to convey the idea they wish to express.

Researchers have discovered a novel neural mechanism involved in casual inference that helps the brain detect objects in motion while we are moving.

Study identifies a group of proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid that could serve as biomarkers for inflammation in the brain.

Researchers explore how diet, exercise, and social engagement can help stave off cognitive impairment and improve overall brain health.

Scientists have discovered 15 additional genetic mutations in the KCNK9 gene that cause a neurodevelopmental syndrome. Symptoms of the disorder range from speech and motor impairment to behavioral abnormalities, intellec...

The python was as wide as a volleyball, at its widest point.

Three out of every four teens aren't getting enough exercise, and this lack is even more pronounced among female students. But new research suggests improving a school's climate can increase physical activity among adole...

Investigators have discovered that cancerous tumors called soft-tissue sarcomas produce a protein that switches immune cells from tumor-attacking to tumor-promoting. The study could lead to improved treatments for soft-t...

The gelatin in the skin of Pacific whiting, an abundant fish on the Pacific Coast of North America, may help prevent skin wrinkling caused by ultraviolet radiation, a new study found.

There are 3,500 sleep-related infant deaths in the United States each year. Many of those deaths are preventable, and the authors of the new guidelines are urging parents to take simple steps to help keep their children ...

COVID-19 rebound following Paxlovid treatment likely due to insufficient drug exposure, researchers find after showing rebound patient did not show drug resistance or impaired immunity.

It has long been thought that when walking is combined with a task -- both suffer. Researchers have now found that this is not always the case. Some young and healthy people improve performance on cognitive tasks while w...

Computer scientists have developed a program to screen short DNA sequences, whether synthetic or natural, to determine their toxicity.

Climate change is throwing off the timing of key events in the natural world, from the flowering of plants to the migrations of birds and mammals. Now, ecologists are warning that this could spiral out of control and cau...

Quantum sensors, which detect the most minute variations in magnetic or electrical fields, have enabled precision measurements in materials science and fundamental physics. But these sensors have only been capable of det...
