Antisense oligonucleotide therapy has the potential to ameliorate many neurodegenerative diseases at the genetic level. Now, researchers have developed a drug delivery platform that can supply the drug in adequate concentrations to the CNS.

Used for the treatment of depression that does not respond to standard antidepressant medications, the anesthesia drug ketamine – and the related drug esketamine, recently approved for depression treatment – has no important adverse effects on memory, attention, or other cognitive processes, concludes a systematic review.

Using a novel nanotechnology approach to deliver chemotherapy could make the treatment more effective against aggressive tumors.

Researchers have retraced the lifetime journey of an Arctic woolly mammoth, which covered enough of the Alaska landscape during its 28 years to almost circle the Earth twice.

The autoimmune disease lupus may be triggered by a defective process in the development of red blood cells (RBCs), according to a recent study. The discovery could lead to new methods for classifying and treating patients with this disease.

In 2018, 905 million tons (2.4%) of global carbon dioxide came from commercial aviation. Researchers have now found a way to extend the life of materials used in jet engines.

“Blue” hydrogen – an energy source that involves a process for making hydrogen by using methane in natural gas – is being lauded by many as a clean, green energy to help reduce global warming. But researchers believe it may harm the climate more than burning fossil fuel.

A new study reveals that targeting interferon kappa, a protein found in the skin, may reduce the severity of psoriasis. The researchers used a model that mimics psoriasis in mice.

A radical collaboration between a biologist and an engineer is supercharging efforts to protect grape crops. The technology they’ve developed, using robotics and AI to identify grape plants infected with a devastating fungus, will soon be available to researchers nationwide working on a wide array of plant and animal research.

The inheritance of several coat color patterns in dogs has been a topic of debate for decades. Researchers have now clarified how the coat color patterns are genetically controlled.
