Using CRISPR gene editing to directly target RNA, researchers eliminated toxic protein buildup associated with Huntington's disease while not disrupting other human genes.

Axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel), a form of CAR-T therapy appears to be safe and has encouraging signs of efficacy in treating both lymphoma of the brain and spinal cord injury.

Researchers discuss the best ways to keep a child's stress at bay during the holiday season.

Pulses of electricity give some fish the ability to identify objects or prey, and a little shimmy helps them take several snapshots that give their underwater world depth

There has been significant interest in photonics over the last decade due to their prospects in creating functional devices both for near-infrared (NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) wavelengths. Optical modulators are crucial ...

Spintronic devices and their operation are governed by the microstructures of magnetic domains. These magnetic domain structures undergo complex, drastic changes when an external magnetic field is applied to the system. ...
