Researchers enhance the efficacy of inhibitors in cancer stem cells therapy for hepatocellular cancer stem cells by technology to develop novel polymer conjugates.

Mood disorders like major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder are often complex and hard to diagnose, especially among youth when the illness is just evolving. This can make decisions about medication difficult. In a collaborative study by Lawson Health Research Institute, The Mind Research Network and Brainnetome Center, researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that analyzes brain scans to better classify illness in patients with a complex mood disorder and help predict their response to medication.

Scientists have discovered new cancer-specific molecular changes that could potentially inform the development of cancer treatments.

Scientists have developed a powerful new strategy for synthesizing molecular skeletons of chemicals used in drugs and other important products, a technique that provides unprecedented flexibility and control over chemical synthesis.

Diverse neural stem cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells can be maintained for a long period of time.

Researchers have developed a new drug that could dampen alcohol’s effects on the brain’s “reward system,” causing rats to self-administer the beverage less frequently.

Scientists have generated the first single cell resolution atlas of genes that control the formation of breast tissue. The atlas provides a comprehensive molecular map that will be used to help researchers understand how breast cancers form and to pinpoint new ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat the disease.

Step aside carrots, onions and broccoli. The newest heart-healthy vegetable could be a gigantic, record-setting radish. Scientists report that compounds found in the Sakurajima Daikon, or "monster," radish could help protect coronary blood vessels and potentially prevent heart disease and stroke.

Swiss scientists identified a factor produced by neurons in response to brain mitochondrial dysfunction.

Alu elements are the most common repeated elements in our genome, and have been linked to disease-causing genome rearrangement. Now, a new computational technique has helped a group of researchers predict which genes are susceptible to Alu rearrangement.
