How does autism manifest in the brain? Researchers from the University of Southern Denmark and Odense University Hospital have investigated this question in a new study involving 60 adults.

Most of our brain's 100 billion neurons are created before we're born, but the trickle of neurons created in the adult brain hippocampus could be instrumental in preventing depression, suggest findings from a new study by researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.

The United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union (EU) was associated with major changes in health care worker migration and worsening physician shortages in England, according to a new study published in JAMA Health Forum.

A study led by the University of Oxford has identified the brain mechanisms that help us work out whether the consequences we experience are caused by our own actions or by circumstances beyond our control.

A comprehensive review published in Engineering systematically outlines the regulatory capacity of silent information regulator 3 (SIRT3), a mitochondrial deacetylase termed the "head goose molecule", and its negentropic mechanism for intervening global metabolic disorders including type 2 diabetes, obesity, and steatotic liver disease.

A comprehensive review published in Engineering outlines multi-disciplinary engineering approaches addressing spinal cord injury (SCI), a debilitating central nervous system disorder triggering permanent sensory, motor, and autonomic dysfunction, and imposing heavy burdens on individuals and societies worldwide.

Australian researchers have uncovered a promising new way to tackle one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer, raising hopes for more effective treatments to stop the disease from spreading.

​Digital media, including videogames, are a central part of leisure activities for many adolescents and adults.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects approximately 6% to 20% of women of reproductive age globally and remains undiagnosed and poorly managed, especially during pregnancy, leading to significant healthcare costs.

Blood cancer patients who cannot find a closely matched stem cell donor may have more transplant options than previously thought.

Once a cell has locked into an abnormal state — the way cancer cells do — can it ever be restored back to normal? A KAIST research team has identified the 'molecular lock' that keeps cells trapped in an altered state, opening a new path toward releasing that lock and reversing a cell's fate.

Researchers at the Center for Marine Environmental Studies (CMES), Ehime University, have published two linked studies on PFAS exposure in companion animals.

COVID-19 can leave behind fatigue, breathing difficulties and neurological symptoms that persist long after the initial infection.

Whether you are characterizing cell state transitions, assessing organelle integrity, or building a multiplex immunofluorescence (IF) assay, you need reliable structural markers for your imaging.

Research from the University of East Anglia shows how our memories change with age and why specific details associated with past events can fade over time.

Researchers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison's Center for Healthy Minds (CHM), along with UW–Madison Department of Educational Psychology and a multi-university team, have found no evidence that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) increased a risk of symptom worsening, in a meta-analysis published in JAMA Network Open.

A review and opinion piece published in The Lancet and led by UCL (University College London) and UCLH researchers discusses the possibility that blood transfusions may inadvertently transmit harmful brain proteins, and whether additional safety measures are warranted as a precaution whilst further research is conducted to better understand these potential risks.

Younger adults with non-small cell lung cancer are significantly more likely than older patients to have genetic alterations that can be matched with targeted therapies, according to a large international study led in part by researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

Stopping tumor growth is only half the battle. Rather than kill tumor cells, many cancer therapies can only push them into cellular senescence, a state in which cells stop dividing but do not die. These "undead" cells will continue to release signals that reshape the tumor environment.

The human brain is often described as one of the most complex structures in biology, and much of its power comes from how it's organized.
