A study led by UTSW sheds light on why children with certain complex congenital heart defects are at risk for long-term lung complications and points to a potential path for improving outcomes.

Hundreds of genes have been linked to autism, yet the precise molecular and cellular mechanisms behind it remain largely unclear. A new study published in Nature, led by Gaia Novarino at the Institute of Science and Technology ...

Neutrinos are one of the fundamental particles of the universe. They live a ghostly existence with no electric charge, very little mass and extremely few interactions with matter. They are also the most abundant particles ...

Careers that tend to expose people to repeated low-level shock waves are associated with a slightly higher risk of clinically documented anger, aggression and violence, new research from University of Utah Health has found.

By applying machine-learning models to single-cell brain recordings taken from humans in conversation, a research team identified both individual and collective neuronal activity that reflected key features of language. The ...

Researchers at Mass General Brigham recently developed BRIDGE, a multilingual benchmark that evaluates how well large language models (LLMs) understand clinical patient care text, including language used in electronic health ...

The RINO project was born from the discovery of unusual marks on rhinoceros teeth recovered from the prehistoric Payre site in France's Rhône Valley. The study of fossil rhinoceros teeth from this Middle Paleolithic site, ...

A newly developed method allows researchers to dynamically switch chirality—a particular lack of mirror symmetry—to generate spin currents in semiconductors, researchers from Science Tokyo report. Their approach relies on ...

A new University of Otago—Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka-led study has put its own spin on Pavlov's dog experiment, shining a light on how our brain learns new things. The study, "The superior colliculus gates dopamine responses to ...

Silicon chips have powered computing for half a century. Increasingly, they are also becoming platforms to read and manipulate biology at scale—recording from many neurons, reading many DNA sequences and now synthesizing ...

For those scared of needles but who need GLP-1 receptor agonists to help manage their weight, there might be some good news. Researchers are testing a new oral, small-molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist called Elecoglipron, which ...

California's iconic Santa Cruz Mountains are an outdoor recreation wonderland. With a world-class network of hiking, mountain biking and equestrian trails, they draw millions of visitors each year from neighboring Santa Cruz, ...
