A supersensitized brain connection has been discovered in individuals who suffer from misophonia, an extreme reaction to "trigger" sounds.

A critical process in the infection cycle of viruses has been revealed for the first time in dynamic detail using pioneering plant-based technology. Evidence about the process of maturation could help to develop new methods for treating viral infections.

Scientists have used structural biology techniques to map how important classes of neutralizing antibodies bind to the original strain of SARS-CoV-2, and how the process is disrupted by mutations found in new variants.

Scientists have found the gene expression signatures underlying the engulfing of deposits of the amyloid-beta (Aβ) protein in the brain.

Passing down a healthy genome is a critical part of creating viable offspring. But what happens when you have harmful modifications in your genome that you don't want to pass down? Baby plants have evolved a method to wipe the slate clean and reinstall only the modifications that they need to grow and develop

A research team has recently uncovered differences in itch in non-hairy versus hairy areas of the skin, opening new areas for research.

New research indicates that some anti-cancer therapies may contribute to greater inflammation and fatigue.

One member of a large protein family that is known to stop the spread of bacterial infections by prompting infected human cells to self-destruct appears to kill the infectious bacteria instead, a new study shows.

An in-depth analysis of the oxytocin–vasopressin circuit in the mouse brain has revealed that these two molecules have distinct dynamics throughout embryonic development.

Researchers have used observational data to clarify how the effectiveness of face masks depends on various environmental conditions and has a population-wide impact on the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.
