Adding basalt rock dust to farmers’ fields could help soils to store four times more carbon dioxide and increase crop yields, say researchers.

A team of researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center used CRISPR technology to identify key regulators of aggressive chronic myeloid leukemia, a type of cancer that remains difficult to treat and is marked by frequent relapse.

A new study adds increasing evidence to the suggestion that Parkinson's disease is partly an autoimmune disease.

New research suggests that when faced with a decision, people may know which choice is the better option, but still take the other.

Researchers are working on understanding how the brain works when learning tasks with the help of brain-computer interface technology. In a set of papers, the team is moving the needle forward on brain-computer interface technology intended to help improve the lives of amputee patients who use neural prosthetics.

MedSafety Scan®, a web-based decision support system, can warn healthcare providers when their patients are prescribed drugs that place them at high risk of developing a potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmia known as torsades de pointes (TdP). It can also check for potentially dangerous drug interactions and suggests options for how to monitor the patient and reduce their risk of harm.

Researchers have developed a novel method of enhancing blood-brain barrier penetration of nanoparticle drugs.

Behavioral inhibition in infancy can be associated with introversion and internalizing psychopathology in adulthood, according to a new study.

Despite laws banning it, ozone pollution is persisting in Europe, and scientists have found a surprising chain of causes for this. As global climate change leads to more hot and dry weather, the resulting droughts are stressing plants, making them less able to remove ozone from the air.

Researchers have identified a binding site where drug compounds could activate a key braking mechanism against the runaway growth seen in many types of cancer.
