Blood concentrations of fatty molecules which induce sleep were higher in those participants in the study with amyloid in the brain, the peptide used to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease.

Chemical analysis of a 1,000 year old leather pouch tested positive for at least five plant-based psychoactive substances including dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and harmine, key active compounds in ayahuasca, a mind-blowing brew commonly associated with the Amazon jungle.

A new study published in The Lancet, involving researchers from the University of Liverpool and Alder Hey Children's Hospital Trust, has identified a 'user friendly' treatment for the most common life-threatening neurological emergency in children.

Researchers describe a new experimental model of Congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF), which allowed them to uncover molecular players that may contribute to the illness.

In a group of 22 former professional athletes who experienced multiple concussions, approximately half the group had higher than normal concentrations of tau in their cerebrospinal fluid.

Unfortunately, conventional wastewater treatment cannot completely remove pharmaceuticals and personal care products, but researchers have developed an adsorbent membrane that could help.

Scientists have used an experimental therapy that relies on bacteria-infecting viruses collected, in part, through HHMI’s SEA-PHAGES program to fight a Mycobacterium infection in a 15-year-old girl.

In a new international study, the genetic diversity of 487 wheat genotypes originating from large parts of the world has been catalogued and contextualised with agronomic traits. The map of this rich pool of genetic diversity in bread wheat highlights our current knowledge of the ancestry of wheat and opens new avenues within modern selective wheat breeding.

A study at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center demonstrated how a small molecule drug discovered at the institution may help overcome resistance to treatment with ibrutinib in patients with mantle cell lymphoma.
