A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.

The KLF5 gene fuels growth spreading pancreatic cancer not by acquiring abnormal changes in the cancer cells' DNA but by altering chemical changes and organization of DNA.

Scientists in South Korea have made a breakthrough in colorectal cancer research, the second-most common cause of cancer casualties in the United States. The illness refers to an abnormal growth of ...

Viral mimic systems and other tech platforms could enable local testing of vaccine candidates and antiviral therapies. This is important in the context of low-resourced health settings, Africa's focus ...

The Trade-off Between Physiological Authenticity and Experimental Convenience: Navigating the Cellular Foundation of ...

Researchers at MIT and Scripps have reported that a DNA-based virus-like particle vaccine has generated markedly higher ...

Neuroscience rarely enjoys clean experiments. Most brain disorders are mosaics of risk genes, aging, lifestyle and chance that leave their origins obscured. Huntington's disease (HD) is different. It ...

Human intelligence wasn’t a cosmic evolutionary fluke, some scientists say. The case against cosmic loneliness is growing.

There have been persistent rumors that Brand New Day is going to be the biggest launchpad for the MCU X-Men yet, with a lot of speculation that the role Stranger Things star Sadie Sink is playing in ...

EDEN (short for environmentally-derived evolutionary network) processes evolutionary DNA from more than one million newly discovered species, collected over five years at 150 locations in 28 countries ...

For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...

How does our DNA store the massive amount of information needed to build a human being? And what happens when it's stored incorrectly? Jesse Dixon, MD, Ph.D., has spent years studying the way this ...
