New research from Yale University reveals that the laminin alpha 5 molecule is crucial to the maturing of the adolescent brain. For a decade, the…
A new genome-wide association study (GWAS) by Yale and University of Pennsylvania researchers found that a gene variant involved in brain development is strongly associated…
According to MIT neuroscientists, the existence of “silent engrams” suggests that existing models of memory formation should be revised. Learning and memory are generally thought…
New research shows that tiny mammals reduce the size of their organs in the winter and can even decrease and rebuild bones. During winter, the…
MIT researchers have developed a synthetic gene circuit that triggers the body’s immune system to attack cancers when it detects signs of the disease. The…
Scientists have now observed a remarkable mechanism by which polymer materials are formed. Under the influence of shear forces, nanoparticles from the secretion of velvet…
Figuring out how to pedal a bike and memorizing the rules of chess require two different types of learning, and now for the first time,…
A team of researchers has sequenced to high-quality the genome of a female Neanderthal from a bone discovered in 1980 in Vindija Cave, Croatia. The…
By cutting off a process that cancerous cells rely, researchers from MIT have identified a possible new strategy for halting brain tumors. MIT biologists have…
In a newly published study, biologists from Yale University described how nervous systems and immune systems talk to each other to control metabolism and inflammation….
New research from the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics reveals the first indication that human intestinal bacteria can trigger multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis…
A team of biologists from UCLA have developed an intervention that serves as a cellular time machine — turning back the clock on a key…
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute discover a novel innate surveillance mechanism to fight off pathogenic Helicobacter strains. Half of all people are chronically infected…
A newly developed method allows researchers to learn more about how existing antibiotics work and potentially help them to develop new drugs. MIT and Harvard…
