Our genes may have a bearing not only on our stroke risk, but probably also on how well we recover after stroke. For the first time scientists have identified common genetic variants that are associated with outcome after ischemic stroke.

Researchers are the first to combine the power of CRISPR's nucleic acid targeting with the ultra sensitivity of graphene, making it possible to digitally detect DNA without amplification.

A new male birth control pill passed tests of safety and tolerability when healthy men used it daily for a month, and it produced hormone responses consistent with effective contraception, according to researchers at two institutions testing the drug.

This article provides insights on the impact of post-translational modifications of biopharmaceutical products on drug development and biotherapeutic formulation.

Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β signaling is an attractive therapeutic target as it is deregulated in many cancers. But challenges remain around developing inhibitors that can specifically block tumor-promoting activities while preserving its tumor suppressive effects.

Working together with scientists at the University of Campinas in Brazil, and the University of Surrey, Birmingham researchers found that the brains of night owls have lower levels of connectivity in many brain regions which are implicated in the maintenance of consciousness.
