Scientists have investigated how the fit of potent inhibitors to their binding sites can be optimized so that they engage with their protein targets for a longer period of time.

Researchers looked at the genetic characteristics that correlate with risk-taking behavior. Using a representative sample of 25,000 people, the researchers examined the relationship between individual differences in brain anatomy and the propensity to engage in risky behavior.

Researchers develop a microfluidic chip capable of capturing the body’s natural killer immune cells to harvest their cancer-killing exosomes.

People with combined vision and hearing loss are nearly four times more likely to experience depression and more than three times more likely to suffer chronic anxiety, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology and led by Anglia Ruskin University (ARU).

One in three adults, particularly women, younger adults, and those of lower socioeconomic status, are experiencing psychological distress related to COVID-19, a new study reports.

A team has reported the highest resolution by far of the 3D genome of the primate brain, and demonstrated the molecular regulatory mechanisms of human brain evolution through cross-species multi-omics analysis and experimental validation.

People with sleep disorders commonly have a misperception about their actual sleep behavior. A research group analyzed polysomnography results to identify the types of sleep disorder that are associated with a discrepancy between self-reported and objective sleep parameters.

A team of researchers has devised a novel method to deliver pancreatic cancer drugs that could make fighting the disease much easier.

A new study by researchers in Japan has examined the brain activity of thirty programmers of diverse levels of expertise, finding that seven regions of the frontal, parietal and temporal cortices in expert programmer's brain are fine-tuned for programming.

Insights on the intricate, adaptive mechanisms of a protective system employed by the cells of mammalian immune systems have been revealed. Through a multidisciplinary approach, they found surprising defensive functions coordinated by a protein called NLRP1, which serves as a sensor for invasive pathogens.
