A multi-center phase I study using an investigational drug for advanced bladder cancer patients who did not respond to other treatments has shown promising results...
When stem cells are used to regenerate bone tissue, many wind up migrating away from the repair site, which disrupts the healing process. But a...
Some news today about the federal BRAIN Initiative – a major research plan aimed at revolutionizing our understanding of the human brain. (Stanford neurologist William...
University of Oregon researchers have tapped the rhythm of memories as they occur in near real time in the human brain. Early transient peaks (top)...
Pathogens entering our body only remain unnoticed for a short period. Within minutes our immune cells detect the invader and trigger an immune response. However,...
Improved diagnosis and management of one of the most common cancers in men – prostate cancer – could result from research at the University of...
