The ability of a gene to keep functioning despite mutations shows a surprising link to fundamental math.

Dark matter is one of the thorniest mysteries of modern cosmology. On the one hand, astronomers have gathered a wealth of supporting evidence through galaxy clustering statistics, gravitational lensing, and cosmic microw...

Researchers enabled machine learning to accurately predict Parkinson's disease subtypes using stem cell images. This breakthrough showcases computer models classifying four Parkinson's subtypes, with top accuracies reach...

Grey wolves living on the southwest coast of Alaska are regularly eating a diet rich in marine animals

Researchers discovered associations between specific microbes in infants' guts and early cognitive development performance. This exploratory study examined 56 infants, revealing that certain microbiome compositions corre...

Long-term use (over 4.4 years) of proton pump inhibitors, prescribed for acid reflux, may be associated with an increased risk of dementia. However, this research does not establish a direct causation but reveals an asso...

"Soft Serve On The Go" ice cream cups have been recalled due to potential bacterial contamination.

The discovery promises to spark a revolution in physics, but more results are needed to know for sure.

Contrary to popular belief, speech and singing use overlapping brain circuits, primarily located in the left hemisphere. This discovery challenges the 50-year notion that the right hemisphere supports the singing ability...

Every couple of decades Saturn develops a huge storm, and now researchers have found that the atmosphere keeps chemical records of those storms for hundreds of years

Researchers uncovered that dopamine, the "feel-good" hormone typically associated with rewards, plays a vital role in learning even without immediate incentives. The study discovered that dopamine and acetylcholine, both...

Researchers identified a potential link between playing tackle football and an increased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD). In a study using a large online dataset, participants with a history of playing organized tackle ...

Fragments of a jaw bone unearthed in China have a mosaic of features that are present in both modern and archaic humans, making it difficult to place on the human evolutionary tree.

Previously, scientists believed that the enteric nervous system (ENS) development stopped before birth. However, recent findings overturn this by showing ENS development continues after birth in mice and humans.

Scientists utilized organoids, or "mini-brains," to explore the roots of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Their study highlighted an imbalance of excitatory cortical neurons in the forebrains of ASD patients.
