Identifying structures in brain cells generally requires a long and potentially damaging process of staining to enable particular features to be picked out. Now, researchers are training computers to do the grunt work for them.

A multi-institutional project to understand one of the major targets of human drug design has produced new insights into how structural communication works in a cell component called a G protein-coupled receptor.

A genetically engineered ferret could help reveal how humans got their big brains.

A fascinating study that identified search results or tweets that associated with syphilis was then able to predict syphilis occurrence at a state-wide level.

Northwestern Engineering researchers have developed a new way to manipulate a virus shell that self-assembles from proteins and holds promise as a carrier for disease detection, drug delivery, and vaccinations.

First-of-its-kind, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility with capacity to produce treatment for thousands of patients suffering from rare genetic disorders or life-threatening diseases.

A new type of cancer vaccine has yielded promising results in an initial clinical trial. The personalized vaccine is made from patients’ own immune cells, which are exposed in the laboratory to the contents of the patients’ tumor cells, and then injected into the patients to initiate a wider immune response.

After completing a 685 million piece genomic puzzle, researchers have put together the genome of the California Yellowtail, a fish with huge potential tfor fishing in the US.

The death-cap mushroom has a long history as a tool of murder and suicide, going back to ancient Roman times. While it may seem ill-advised, researchers are eager to synthesize the toxin because studies have shown that it could help fight cancer. Scientists now report how they overcame obstacles to synthesize the death-cap killer compound.

Researchers map the functional circuit architecture underlying parental behaviour.
