Neuroinflammation, the persistent activation of the brain’s immune system, is increasingly recognized as a common driver of neurological damage. It appears in conditions ranging from...
Theoretical physicist and neuroscientist Haim Sompolinsky has been awarded the 2026 Dirac Medal and Prize, one of the most prestigious international honors in theoretical physics....
Cervical cancer metastasis may be controlled by an epigenetic pathway involving the endothelial cell-specific molecule 1, the DNA-methylating enzyme DNMT3A, and the transcription factor ID3,...
A new study in mice suggests that ketamine may do more than rapidly relieve depressive-like symptoms: it may also protect ovarian function and improve the...
Heavy-duty trucks are entering a decisive technological transition, but the question of which powertrain will dominate cannot be answered by looking only at vehicle prices...
A newly reported immune mechanism may help explain why muscles waste away after losing their nerve supply—and why the body’s own early inflammatory response could...
Obesity diagnosis may be on the verge of a major reset, as a new diagnostic study examines whether body mass index alone is too blunt...
The genetic architecture of wheat may be more flexible than previously thought. Researchers from China Agricultural University and the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences have...
A striking gap between Alzheimer’s treatment and everyday brain-health habits has emerged from a new study by researchers at the Mass General Brigham Neuroscience Institute....
Lung adenocarcinoma cells may become more invasive and more difficult to eliminate because of a single transcription factor that links two major cancer adaptations, according...
A molecular handshake between two immune proteins may explain why familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) erupts into painful inflammation—and could help doctors interpret hundreds of genetic...
AMES, Iowa—A tiny, antenna-like structure found on many animal cells may help explain how turtle embryos sense the warmth that determines whether they develop as...
A nationwide Japanese study has found that growth hormone therapy can improve adult height in children who develop growth impairment after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation,...
Researchers have developed a computer model of the human cortex that connects molecular-scale chemistry with brain-wide patterns of activity, offering new evidence that differences in...
Researchers at Duke University School of Medicine have identified a small population of brain cells that may help determine whether opioids become linked to rewarding...
