Two new studies in mice suggest that the double-edged nature of the relationship between the immune system and the brain may come down to the origins of the immune cells that patrol the meninges, the tissues that surround the brain and spinal cord.

Researchers have discovered that cepharanthine and nelfinavir are effective at combating SARS-CoV-2, with the former preventing the virus from entering cells and the latter preventing the virus from replicating.

A strange thing sometimes happens when we listen to a spoken phrase again and again, called the "speech-to-song illusion." Now, researchers examining if the speech-to-song illusion happens in adults who are 55 or older as powerfully as it does with younger people.

A study shows that one-quarter of people who take methotrexate for common immune system disorders mount a weaker immune response to a COVID-19 vaccine.

Research has identified four clinically approved drugs and nine compounds in other stages of development with strong potential to be repurposed for COVID-19 treatment.

Researchers have discovered that by combining data from tumor biomarkers, ultrasound and ultrasound-guided diffuse optical tomography (DOT) after a patient's first cycle of chemotherapy it is possible to accurately predict how the tumor is responding to treatment.

Researchers have succeeded in reconstructing changes in rainfall in Central Asia over the past five million years. The information preserved within the sedimentary succession provides the missing link for understanding land-water feedbacks for global climate.

A novel antibody treatment reactivates the immune defense in patients with advanced-stage cancer.

Scientists have detected Zika virus RNA in free-ranging African bats.

For years, researchers have wondered to what extent this inter-species social bond is driven by dog genetics, or by their environmental interaction with humans. To answer this question, some lucky researchers conducted a study with 375 8-week-old puppies.
