In a study published in Science, USC researchers paired a biological discovery with an engineering feat to create more faithful, reproducible lab-grown kidney structures from stem cells, known as organoids.

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have found that patients with Parkinson's disease undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) show little to no Lewy pathology in the prefrontal cortex at the time of ...

Six years after the world first learned of COVID-19, the pandemic has faded into an unpleasant memory for many. For others, however, it never fully ended. A long-term study by Hiroshima University has found that while lingering ...

A substance that worsens dementia has become a "switch" that initiates treatment. KAIST researchers have developed a new therapeutic approach that uses hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), a reactive oxygen species that damages cells ...

Primary CNS lymphoma is a rare cancer that arises from malignant white blood cells. Affected individuals develop tumors in the brain and, more rarely, in the spinal cord, the eyes or within the cerebrospinal fluid. These ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University's Gray Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences have uncovered how a natural and essential immune system process can be hijacked to promote cancer progression. In a new study, the research ...

Psychological stress is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for certain health conditions, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes, especially when paired with an impaired immune response. In a study in Cell Stem ...

A breakthrough in biomedical engineering could help pave the way for tiny implantable devices capable of diagnosing, monitoring and treating a wide range of health conditions. An international team of researchers led by the ...

University of Queensland researchers have developed a drug that activates a hard-to-target immune receptor—a breakthrough that could lead to new treatments for neurodegenerative conditions like motor neuron disease (MND).

The development of cancer is not a process triggered immediately by the emergence of an oncogenic mutation. There is growing evidence for the existence of an intermediate phase—hitherto poorly defined—in which mutated cells ...

The transition to hybrid work has improved the psychosocial work environment among white-collar employees, according to new research from Umeå University. Positive effects include more accessible leadership, greater autonomy ...

A new study by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has identified genetic factors that determine whether prostate cancers are susceptible to a type of cell death known as ferroptosis. These findings, ...
