Researchers have identified a promising drug target for the treatment and prevention of aggressive, drug-resistant prostate cancer.

A new study shows that while we sleep, the brain produces particular activation patterns. When two of these patterns – slow oscillations and sleep spindles – gear into each other, previous experiences are reactivated. The stronger the reactivation, the clearer will be our recall of past events.

A research team has now proved that the distribution of lithium in the brains of depressive people is different from the distribution found in healthy humans.

Researchers have shown that the two components of the bacterial CRISPR-Cas immunity system are physically linked. This link helps bacteria to efficiently update their immune memory when infected by mutant viruses that learned to evade the CRISPR-Cas defense.

A research team has discovered an additional component in the staphylococcal cell wall that can potentially make the bacterium deadly.

A new study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that low testosterone levels in the blood are linked to more severe COVID-19 disease.

To counter the loss of muscle mass due to aging, scientists are studying ways to accelerate the regeneration of muscle tissue, using a combination of molecular compounds that are commonly used in stem-cell research.

Researchers have developed models that can help assess how emerging contaminants disperse, dissolve and ultimately impact water quality and the resilience of aquifers.

Researchers have designed a testing protocol for SARS-CoV-2 that can process tens of thousands of samples in less than 48 hours. The method, called SARSeq, could be adapted to many more pathogens.

Plant pathologists have generated wheat overexpressing two non-specific lipid transfer proteins and found it to enhance protection against a fungus which has been devastating cereal grain crops.
