A new generation of light-controlled medical electronics could make temporary neural interfaces less invasive and easier to control. In a study published in Nature Electronics,...
Dopamine has long been cast as the brain’s “motivation molecule,” a chemical messenger that helps shape reward, learning, movement and the effort people are willing...
A new study published in Nature Communications reports that sepsis-associated acute kidney injury, one of the most dangerous complications of severe infection, is not a...
Glioblastoma’s Next Target: Why Precision Drugs Are Still Struggling to Defeat the Brain’s Most Aggressive Cancer Glioblastoma remains the most lethal primary brain tumour in...
Parkinson’s disease may be entering a new era of prediction, in which the earliest clues to a patient’s future are found not inside a brain...
A common bladder infection may be prompting a much bigger medical question than doctors once assumed. A nationwide population-based study published in the British Journal...
Light could soon become more than a carrier of data. In a new study published in Light: Science & Applications, researchers report an on-chip, non-volatile,...
The liver has long been viewed as a broadly similar organ in men and women, with differences often attributed mainly to reproductive biology. A new...
A single atom can determine whether a heterocycle is easy to build, difficult to modify, or inaccessible through conventional synthetic routes. In a new study...
Lithium-ion batteries have transformed everything from smartphones to electric vehicles, yet the thin separator hidden inside each cell remains one of their most vulnerable components....
Messenger RNA transformed vaccine science during the COVID-19 pandemic, but its success depended on a delivery system capable of protecting a fragile genetic molecule and...
For decades, superconductivity has been treated as a property controlled primarily by temperature, magnetic fields, chemical composition and pressure. A new experiment now suggests that...
A new generation of optical filters could make advanced communications systems faster, more adaptable and far less dependent on fixed hardware. Researchers have reported programmable...
Acute kidney injury can damage far more than the kidneys. When renal blood flow is interrupted and then restored, the resulting ischemia–reperfusion injury can trigger...
Peptide–protein interactions sit at the center of many biological processes, from cellular signaling and immune regulation to the action of peptide hormones and emerging therapeutics....
