Researchers have succeeded in controlling neuronal activity in the brain using a molecule responsive to light.

Researchers have identified a new gene, TP73, that may increase a person's risk of developing ALS.

Study shows that a computer program can predict which paintings a person will like.

A ball of 4,000-year-old hair preserved in arctic permafrost led to the first-ever reconstruction of an ancient human genome just over a decade ago.

A team of scientists at the University of Sussex have for the first time built a modular quantum brain scanner, and used it to record a brain signal. This is the first time a brain signal has been detected using a modular quantum brain sensor anywhere in the world.

Researchers have developed a new technology that enables the introduction of target genes in a controlled manner and thereby control processes in individually selected cells.

A study of media coverage of 623 scientific papers on Alzheimer’s disease research conducted in mice reveals that the digital news media are more likely to write a story about alleged breakthroughs or medical research findings if research authors omit mice from their studies’ titles. On the other hand, papers that acknowledge mice in their titles result in limited media coverage.

Researchers have analyzed more than 8,000 proteins in detail from fixed samples of lung cancer tissue using mass spectrometers.

Researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) have determined how certain short protein fragments, called peptides, can protect neuronal cells found in the light-sensing retina layer at the back of the eye.

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers report they have developed a new computer-based approach showing that human cancer cells grown in culture dishes are the least genetically similar to their human sources.
