Scientists have combined artificial intelligence algorithms with two microscopy techniques, shortening the time for image processing and ensuring that the images are crisp and accurate.

Cells talk to each other to coordinate nutrition, waste removal, energy use, and, in some cases, disease progression. The cells that line the surfaces of organs or specific tissues, called epithelial cells, appear to speak two different languages - one for either side of the cell, according to a new study.

Soccer penalties are some of the most high-pressure moments in team sports.Now, new research from the University of Twente in the Netherlands has added to a body of evidence suggesting that the activation of brain regions related to long-term thinking may be behind missed kicks.

Scientists have now found that a regular Mediterranean-like dietary pattern may protect against protein deposits in the brain and brain atrophy.

Researchers have found that mice can sense extremely fast and subtle changes in the structure of odors and use this to guide their behavior. The findings alter the current view on how odors are detected and processed in the mammalian brain.

Researchers have shown that longitudinal changes in social cognition are associated with psychological outcomes of daily living, suggesting that social cognition may exert a central role in people with multiple sclerosis.

Researchers have found a new way to interpret the evolution of bacteria. The findings demonstrate how integrating vertical descent and horizontal gene transfer can be used to infer the root of the bacterial tree and the nature of the last bacterial common ancestor.

Researchers have discovered that neurons with high levels of the protein apolipoprotein E are more sensitive to degeneration, and therefore Alzheimer's disease.

To understand the causes of neurodegenerative diseases, a group of scientists is searching an unusual place – the gut of a tiny nematode worm.

A review looks at the major discoveries in hominin origins since Darwin's works and argues that fossil apes can inform us about essential aspects of ape and human evolution, including the nature of our last common ancestor.
