For their study, the scientists investigated diseased nerve cells using high precision methods and subsequently simulated their electrical properties on the…
The researchers found hidden faults in areas that are tricky for gene-reading technology to decode. This technique, which unravels cancer's genetic blueprint,…
Although radiation treatments have become much more refined in recent years, it remains a challenge to both sufficiently dose the tumor while sparing the…
A team of University of Houston (UH) chemistry researchers have developed a molecule that assembles spontaneously into a lightweight structure with microscopic…
The studies, in animal models, could lead to new effective treatments for leukemias that are resistant to chemotherapy, said Reuben Kapur, Ph.D., Freida and…
While depression is the most common psychiatric disease worldwide, only one third of the patients achieve sustained remission following treatment with…
The scientists showed that the Parkin protein functions to repair or destroy damaged nerve cells, depending on the degree to which they are damaged

The chemistry of all substances is to a large extent defined by their spatial arrangement. Many molecules can be present in two forms (enantiomers), which…
Membranes are thin walls that surround cells and protect their interior from the environment. These walls are composed of phospholipids, which, due to their…
Researchers report in the journal Nature that the yellow fever mosquito contains a version of an odor-detecting gene in its antennae that is highly attuned to…
Details of the role of glutamate, the brain’s excitatory chemical, in a drug reward pathway have been identified for the first time.
A study led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) investigators has identified what appears to be a molecular switch controlling inflammatory processes…

There's a cast of characters deep inside your ears — many kinds of tiny cells working together to allow you to hear. The lead actors, called hair cells, play…
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can insert itself at different locations in the DNA of its human host – and this specific integration site determines…
Organic matter recently detected by NASA’s robotic rover “Curiosity” is probably not due to contamination brought from Earth as researchers originally thought….
