Researchers have uncovered that reducing levels of the protein tau, known for its role in Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions, changes excitatory and inhibitory cells in ways that make it harder for the brain to burst with overexcitation.

Very young children learn words at a tremendous rate. Now researchers have for the first time seen how specific brain regions activate as two-year-olds remember newly learned words — while the children were sleeping.

Researchers have identified a drug that helps sensory neurons in the central nervous system heal after a spinal cord injury.

In examining the facial expressions of children after sleep restrictions, researchers have found that inadequate sleep in children affects their emotional functioning in ways that may predict longer-term social problems.

A new study published in Fertility and Sterility Science is the first to show that functional sperm cells can be made in a dish using primate embryonic stem cells.

Researchers have developed a novel biopsy method using lab-on-a-chip technology that they believe can detect cancer before a tumor is even formed.

Cell fitness has been identified as a way of predicting health outcomes in COVID-19 patients, according to a University of Queensland study.

Researchers have shown that protein analysis at the single-cell level in a tumor sample can be used to detect cancer stem cells that evade chemotherapy.

A research team has shed light on the dynamics of efferocytosis, the elimination of dying cells, following ischemic stroke.

A new study has uncovered neuronal circuitry in the brain of rodents that may play an important role in mediating pain-induced anhedonia – a decrease in motivation to perform reward-driven behaviors.
