Mutations in our genetic makeup can result in severe problems, such as colon or liver cancer. However, cancer is an intricate disease and the same…
Researchers develop a potential therapeutic for lethal pediatric brain cancer, DIPG, using ASO technology. The treatment slows tumor growth and increases survival rates in mice….
Researchers have developed software to accurately infer continental ancestry from tumor DNA and RNA, potentially helping in early cancer detection and personalized treatments. With over…
Antibiotic resistance is a major public health threat, ranked as one of the top 10 by the World Health Organization. Every year, in the United…
Neuroscientist Bo Li at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has made significant discoveries about the role of somatostatin-expressing (Sst+) central amygdala (CeA) neurons in learning about…
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory researchers have found a potential new treatment for Ewing sarcoma that targets a protein called ETV6. Inhibiting this protein transforms cancer…
Neuroscientists have discovered a set of brain cells that influence the motivation of mice to perform tasks for rewards. Increasing the cells’ activity makes a…
Research indicates that there is more than one way to build a black bird. Nature often finds a way when it comes to the biological…
Mutations can be good and bad. They sometimes enhance an organism’s survivability and adaptability. Sometimes they are so damaging that an organism is incapable of…
A new study reveals that a region of the brain called the amygdala may be responsible for overeating. The amygdala, a region of the brain,…
A New Drug Duo Spinraza® changed the game for people with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in 2016. It was the first medication for the neurodegenerative…
If scientists can fully understand plant growth, they might be able to find a cancer cure In order to increase agricultural yields, it is important…
Scientists are working to better understand the RNA interference process, which could help improve treatments, such as cancer therapies. Recently, researchers discovered how the Argonaute…
Sex hormones play a significant role in shaping an animal’s behavior, and their effect begins early. Early-life hormonal surges help shape the developing brain, establishing…
When plant geneticists find a gene that improves crop yields, they want to try to insert that same change into other crops. But Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory…
A team of scientists led by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) have discovered that disulfiram, an FDA-approved drug, prevents the immune system from producing toxic…
Your immune system is constantly patrolling your body to keep you healthy. Sometimes, immune cells are also called into action to address a potential problem….
