Scientists have characterized the specific ways in which SARS-CoV-2 infects the nasal cavity to a great degree and how it infects and replicates progressively less well in cells lower down the respiratory tract, including the lungs.

A team of researchers has conducted a clinical trial to evaluate different combinations of remote pre- and post-test genetic counseling.

What happens in the hippocampus even before people attempt to form memories may impact whether they remember.

A new study published today in Neuron led by The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute's Valentina Fossati, PhD, creates astrocytes - an integral support cell in the brain - from stem cells and shows that in disease-like environments, these normally helpful cells can turn into neuron-killers.

Researchers have sequenced 55 genomes from across northern China dating between 7,500 and 1,700 years ago, covering the Yellow River, West Liao River and Amur River regions. Their results add to discussions concerning the relationship between genetic contacts and subsistence change while providing the first comprehensive genetic overview of northern China.

Scientists have developed biodegradable polymer fibers that can be used to administer a drug that protects nerves after brain surgery.

It was previously claimed that the font Sans Forgetica could enhance people's memory for information, however researchers from the University of Warwick and the University of Waikato, New Zealand, have found after carrying out numerous experiments that the font does not enhance memory.

Changes in gut mucus could be contributing to bacterial imbalance and exacerbating core symptoms of brain disorders, according to a new study.

New research, published in Inflammopharmacology, highlights the potential benefits of a new drug treatment on the human body’s immune response in inflammation.

A team of researchers has generated a developmental map of a key sound-sensing structure in the mouse inner ear. Scientists analyzed data from 30,000 cells from mouse cochlea, the snail-shaped structure of the inner ear.
