Researchers used advanced probes to study how mice process sensory input into motor actions. The study found that decision-making involves a distributed network across the brain, with learning enhancing the integration of sensory evidence.

A study reveals that sperm motility improves after stress rather than during it. By examining extracellular vesicles, researchers found enhanced sperm performance post-stress, suggesting an evolutionary advantage.

Pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death, plays a crucial role in promoting healing and tissue repair. This opens new avenues for understanding how our bodies respond to injury and could lead to innovative treatments.

A study by Prof. Kodi Ravichandran's team reveals that pyroptosis, a form of cell death traditionally viewed as purely inflammatory, also promotes healing. Pyroptotic cells release molecules that aid tissue repair.

Scientists at RIKEN have identified chromosomal and gene expression changes that lead to stem cell exhaustion in aging fruit flies. This study reveals that chromatin structure changes block gene expression, contributing to stem cell depletion.

Researchers discovered that muscle spindles detect mechanical pressure, not just muscle stretch. This finding led to the development of the ‘triple-eight’ technique, which effectively reduces muscle stiffness.

Girls exposed to certain EDCs may be more likely to start puberty early, according to new research. Early puberty is associated with an increased risk of psychosocial problems, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and breast cancer.

People with obesity who are long-time exercisers have healthier fat tissue and can store fat more effectively than nonexercisers with obesity, according to a new research study.

By combining and developing various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques, researchers have revealed triggers of programmed cell death.

Lab-grown blood stem cells could benefit from having inflammatory signals switched off, a new study reveals.
