A drug already approved by the FDA to treat arthritis and ulcerative colitis has the ability to repair defects in the permeability of the gut epithelium.

Researchers from MIT are developing an oral contraceptive pill that only has to be taken once a month, which could reduce unintended pregnancies that result from forgetting to take a daily dose.

Researchers from Duke University and HSE University have succeeded in creating artificial tactile perception in monkeys through direct brain stimulation. This breakthrough can be used to create upper-limb neuroprostheses, capable of delivering a tactile sensation.

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have created a new artificial intelligence program for automatically classifying the sleep stages of mice that combines two popular machine learning methods. The use of this system for automatically annotating data can significantly assist sleep researchers when analyzing the results of their experiments.

The protease MT1-MMP could be a possible future target for drugs to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) according to a new study.

Researchers have developed a method for rapidly discovering potential cancer-treating compounds that work by "resurrecting" the anti-tumor activity of T cells.

Personalized medicine approach using a human Colon Chip opens up gateway to study mucus barrier functions in patients with intestinal diseases in vitro.

A research team led by Northwestern Engineering's Luis Amaral has developed an algorithmic approach for data analysis that automatically recognizes uninformative words -- known as stop words -- in a large collection of text.

Research has revealed the near-atomic level structure of a protein that plays a key role in processing taste stimuli and moderating toxicity in brain cells.

A team has identified a combination of two drugs that work to relax the walls of the ureter — and can be delivered directly to the ureter with a catheter-like instrument. Relaxing the ureter could help kidney stones clear more easily.
