The cries of newborns can stimulate the release of oxytocin in mothers, aiding breast-milk production, as demonstrated in a rodent study by NYU Grossman School…
Researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine have discovered that a brain region in female mice, the principal nucleus of the bed nucleus of stria…
Study proposes role for gamma oscillations in future treatment. Researchers have found that restoring gamma signals in the olfactory bulb, a brain region processing smells,…
Study suggests physicians may need to follow patients with both conditions more closely. A study led by the National Institutes of Health’s RECOVER Initiative and…
A study by NYU Grossman School of Medicine researchers found that melanocyte stem cells (McSCs) lose their ability to move between hair follicle compartments as…
Study findings suggest specific targets for future drugs. A previously unknown way in which cannabidiol (CBD), a substance found in cannabis, reduces seizures in many…
Detection of rhythmic brain waves suggestive of near-death experiences. Around 20% of people who survive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) after cardiac arrest may describe lucid experiences…
Infection with SARS-CoV-2, the COVID-19 pandemic virus, can decrease the number of bacterial species in a person’s gut. This reduced microbiome diversity creates space for…
Targeted therapies specifically attach to and inhibit cancer-causing proteins, but cancer cells can swiftly evolve to counter their action. Immunotherapies, a second drug class, harnesses…
New research may have solved a mystery surrounding Crohn’s disease, a type of inflammatory bowel disease where immune defenses meant to attack invading microbes mistakenly…
A new study finds that brain cells with the same “birthdate” are more likely to wire together into cooperative signaling circuits that carry out many…
Results could explain why drugs designed to remove amyloid deposits have failed to stop disease. According to the National Institute on Aging, Alzheimer’s disease is…
Boost in nerve-growth protein helps explain why running supports brain health. Exercise increases levels of a chemical involved in brain cell growth, which bolsters the…
Breakthrough techniques in living cells upend field. Two studies provide a radically new picture of how bacterial cells continually repair damaged sections (lesions) in their…
Amyloid beta, a protein known to build-up in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, also helps skin cancer cells thrive when they spread to the brain,…
Findings Could Help Treat Speech Problems A region crossing the folded surface of the top of the brain, called the dorsal precentral gyrus, plays an…
Patients hospitalized for COVID-19 had higher levels over the short term of blood proteins known to rise with neurological damage than non-COVID-19 patients diagnosed with…
A molecular building block of many animal proteins, the amino acid valine, plays a key role in cancerous growth seen in T cell acute lymphoblastic…
