Americans who frequently cook meals at home are more likely to have a better-quality diet, according to a new study.

A University of Colorado Cancer Center study identifies a potential new way to convince pluripotent cells to make hematopoietic stem cells. And, ironically, a possible way to do this lies in magnifying a gene that causes a form of childhood leukemia.

Walnuts may not just be a tasty snack, they may also promote good-for-your-gut bacteria. New research suggests that these “good” bacteria could be contributing to the heart-health benefits of walnuts.

People with motor neuron disease are being invited to take part in a UK-wide trial – called MND-SMART – that aims to find treatments that can slow, stop or reverse disease progression.

A new study suggests that tracking eye movement could be used as a method for testing the effect of aging on the brain.

Scientists have shown that cells from children with NGLY1 deficiency--a rare disorder first described in 2012--lack sufficient water channel proteins called aquaporins. The discovery may help explain the disorder's wide-ranging symptoms--including the inability to produce tears, seizures and developmental delays--and opens new avenues to find therapies to treat the disorder.

By tracking neuronal activity in the zebrafish brain, researchers have been able to reconstruct the unfolding of neuronal events in making a “left or right” decision and predict what their next move would be.

Scientists have engineered the first breed of genetically modified mosquitoes resistant to spreading all four types of the dengue virus.

MDC researchers established a new model to study neuromuscular development and disorders. For the first time two distinct human tissues co-developed in the lab from one progenitor cell type and self-organized into a complex, functional neuromuscular organoid.

New research suggests that contact between cells is necessary for the survival of human cells under protein-damaging conditions and stress.
