In research aimed at gaining insights into the sudden, unexpected deaths of young children, often happening during sleep, scientists have pinpointed brief seizures that involve…
Researchers discovered a method to expedite the study of bacterial gene regulation, which could help fight antibiotic resistance by analyzing DNA replication’s impact on gene…
Findings may offer insight into social disorders like autism. Like humans, mice live in complex social groups, fight over territory and mates, and learn when…
After surveying the views expressed by 41 advocacy, medical, and transplant-focused organizations on the Uniform Determination of Death Act, a brain injury expert is calling…
The findings could explain how memories form throughout the day. Scientists have long believed that rewards such as food or money stimulate learning by triggering…
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,…

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…
Less than two months after the first breakthrough surgery, NYU Langone Health has performed its second successful investigational xenotransplantation procedure using a genetically engineered pig…
