A study has found that a computerized brain implant effectively relieves short-term and chronic pain in rodents.

Researchers have shown that injured proximal tubule cells might contribute to the transition from an acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease.

Older adults taking blood pressure-lowering medications known to cross the blood-brain barrier had better memory recall over time compared to those taking other types of medicines to treat high blood pressure, according to new research.

A method for making ultrathin sensors for monitoring the health of crops could help farmers grow more food without putting extra demands on the land.

A new study by the open access publisher Frontiers on identical twins investigates the genetic basis for both migraine and PTSD. It reveals epigenetic changes that are shared by PTSD and migraine, suggesting that similar environmental risk factors are at play in both conditions

A blood gene profile associated with a high risk of dying from Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis can also predict poor outcomes in patients with COVID-19.

A new position statement from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine emphasizes that sleep is a biological necessity, and insufficient sleep and untreated sleep disorders are detrimental for health, well-being, and public safety.

A research group has used gene editing technologies to show how targeting Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1 alpha can inhibit tumor growth and drive cytotoxic immune cells to the cancer tissue.

Biologists at the Universities of Bath and Vienna have discovered 71 new 'imprinted' genes in the mouse genome, a finding that takes them a step closer to unravelling some of the mysteries of epigenetics - an area of science that describes how genes are switched on (and off) in different cells, at different stages in development and adulthood.

A study has found that alterations in the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene are associated with a poorer prognosis for children with high-risk neuroblastoma.
