Accumulation of the protein tau in the brain is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. In a paper published in Cell Press Blue, researchers report a previously unknown mechanism that appears to enable the buildup of ...

Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell structures interacting in real time at an unprecedented 120-nanometer resolution—the highest achieved ...

Trust in others and prior experience with feral hogs were significant factors in whether landowners would commit effort and dollars to controlling the destructive animals, two studies have found.

A recent research study found that a combination of the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide and bimagrumab, an antibody that blocks activin signaling pathways, results in greater weight loss while also preserving lean mass, ...

Herpes simplex virus partially liquefies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to copy itself faster, a new study shows. The research centers on how the nucleus of each human cell houses the genetic machinery ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in how people learn, communicate and interact with others, as well as restrictive or repetitive behaviors. Many past psychology ...

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers have developed an early-stage, experimental "living eye drop" that uses naturally occurring eye bacteria to support corneal wound healing. The proof-of-concept study, ...

Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a protein and alter its function. A team at HZB has now investigated the Nsp1 protein, which plays a role ...

Microplastics (MPs), defined as plastic fragments with sizes ranging from millimeters (

Imagine arriving at a busy location with people moving around and a multitude of visual and other sensory cues vying for your attention. How does the brain integrate such floods of sensory information and reach a decision ...

For more than a decade, Evan Economo's lab has been using micro-CT machines to scan insect specimens. The resulting X-ray images help researchers study the form and structure of insects—a subfield of entomology known as ...

When you get better at a skill—recognizing a familiar face in a crowd, spotting a typo at a glance, or anticipating the next move in a game—sensory neurons in your brain become more coordinated, sharing information rather ...
