North Carolina State University researchers have developed a new framework for building deep neural networks via grammar-guided network generators. In experimental testing, the new networks - called AOGNets - have outperformed existing state-of-the-art frameworks, including the widely-used ResNet and DenseNet systems, in visual recognition tasks.

Researchers have developed a cell co-culture platform that can reproduce a patient’s tumor in 3D and test the best treatment combinations for its specific case in just five days.

A team of researchers used the 200-petaflop IBM AC922 Summit system, the world's smartest and most powerful supercomputer, to develop an integrative model of the transcription preinitiation complex (PIC), a complex of proteins vital to gene expression.

A new type of opioid doesn’t have the side effects (such as increased pain sensitivity or and increased risk of chronic pain) associated with morphine and other opioid-based painkillers, and accelerates recovery time from pain compared to morphine, according to a new preclinical study.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) look at large populations to find genes that contribute to common, multi-gene traits like height or obesity. These comprehensive studies frequently turn up large numbers of tiny genetic variations that occur more often in people who are tall, obese, etc. So which genes should scientists investigate further?

A new open-source solution for the analysis of high content screening (HCS) data in biomedical research has been released.

Over one-third of all FDA-approved drugs act on a specific family of proteins called G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Researchers now show when and how different parts of a GPCR interacts with its G protein signaling partners.

Researchers have shown that when honey from strawberry trees is added to colon cancer cells grown in the laboratory, cell proliferation is stopped.

A research group at the University of Cordoba is working on a visual tool to determine the behavior of a fire in an area, and to measure the economic losses it causes in a more precise way, evaluating not only the tangible resources, but also the intangible ones too.

Researchers have developed a single vaccination approach to simultaneously combat influenza and pneumococcal infections.
