New research by Sussex scientists could be the first step towards developing a blood test to diagnose the most aggressive type of brain tumour, known as Glioblastoma.

Researchers from Japan's Osaka University have made an important leap in our understanding of how chronic pain conditions develop. In a new study, the team explains how a protein previously implicated in neuron growth and cell adhesion is also critical for the development of pain sensitization.

In a new study, scientists report that halting production of synaptotagmin 17 (syt-17) blocks growth of axons.

Having strains and cell lines that have been checked and confirmed to be what it says on the tube is invaluable to scientific validity and integrity, saving untold time and money. We spoke to Mindy Goldsborough, Ph.D., Chief Science and Technology Officer, VP and General Manager, ATCC Cell Systems about the importance and challenges of maintaining authenticated cell lines for scientific research.

A recent study found that there are differences in metabolite concentrations in healthy humans and individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We spoke with Ilia Kurochkin, research scientist at the Skoltech Center for Neurobiology and Brain Restoration (CNBR), to learn more about the study and how the results could aid the development of a diagnostic tool for ASD.

At the BNA's Festival of Neuroscience we were lucky enough to sit down with some influential neuroscientists to discuss their work. We’ve assembled these transcripts into our BNA Interview Series. Here, we interview Cambridge University's Professor Barry Everitt on the connections between learning and addiction.
