The mechanism behind how cancer cells use octopus-like tentacles to move around the body and invade new tissue has been identified in a new study.

In mice, a new test predicted sepsis soon after infection, well before blood clotting and organ failure, enabling early antibiotic treatment and markedly increased survival.

A new study found that the cells of humans and animals who have recovered from tuberculosis had prematurely aged up to 12 to 14 years.

According to a study, a new 3D-printing technique could enable rapid on-site production of medicines.

Oleic acid produced by the brain is an essential regulator of learning, memory and mood regulation, and can stimulate the growth of new neurons in the hippocampus.

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a novel strategy for identifying potent miniature antibodies, so-called nanobodies, against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.

A study that tracked healthcare staff during the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed that those staff who did not contract the disease pre-vaccines had IgA antibodies in the respiratory tract, which protected them from the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

A study has found that neurons located in the brain’s striatum encode the outcomes of actions and appear to help with decision-making that requires evaluating risks and benefits.

Minuscule involuntary eye movements, known as microsaccades, can occur even while one is carefully staring at a fixed point in space. New research by National Eye Institute (NEI) investigators shows that while these microsaccades seem to boost or diminish the strength of the brain signals underlying attention, the eye movements are not drivers of those brain signals.

A new study into mechanism that causes mitochondria to split could be a step to potential therapies for Parkinson's disease.
