Two new studies describe in detail the mechanism that causes tissues to undergo structural changes. The research indicates that, via the collision of cells, different tissue structures can be formed – this remodeling can create “super-highways”, which are used by cancer cells to escape to other sites within the body.

Researchers have found that features of the elbow can help them to accurately estimate the sex of skeletons.

During Earth’s last glacial period, temperatures on the planet periodically spiked dramatically and rapidly. A recent study suggests that mathematics from information theory could offer a powerful tool for analyzing and understanding them.

In this feature of "Technology Networks Explores the CRISPR Revolution", Professor George Church lends his views on some of the milestones achieved in genomics research to date, elaborates on "that wooly mammoth study" and emphasizes his desire to make genomic technologies more widely available.

Research presented at Neuroscience 2019, hosted in Chicago this week, has shown promising pre-clinical data in mice that suggests altering the electrical oscillations of neuronal networks with external light and sound stimulation might have brain-boosting effects that reduce pathology related to Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Phenotypic screening is gaining new momentum in drug discovery with the hope that this approach will improve the success rate of drug approval. In this article we look at some of the latest screening tools and their applications.
