Deciphering the genetics behind antler regeneration, rapid bone growth and mineralization may aid the development of effective therapies for bone diseases and fractures.

The cellular nutrient glutamine launches a metabolic signaling pathway that promotes the function of some immune system T cells and suppresses others.

Scientists led by Newcastle University have been able to identify the group of children needing more intensive, aggressive chemotherapy for the most common form of brain cancer.

Over 400,000 people have enrolled in a study, conducted by Stanford and Apple, to determine whether a wearable technology can identify irregular heart rhythms suggestive of atrial fibrillation.

Researchers have taught an artificial intelligence program used to recognise faces on Facebook to identify galaxies in deep space. The result is an AI bot named ClaRAN that scans images taken by radio telescopes.

Neuroscientists have moved one step closer to understanding the complete list of cell types in the brain. In the most comprehensive study of its kind to date, the researchers sorted cells from the cortex, the outermost shell and the cognitive center of the brain, into 133 different “cell types” based on the genes the cells switch on and off.

Catching cells in the act of switching from 'pumping' to 'repair' mode with the use of single-cell RNA sequencing should raise alarms, researchers say.

For someone with hydrocephalus – a potentially life-threatening condition in which excess fluid builds up in the brain – even something as benign as a headache can indicate a serious problem that can result in a hospital visit and sometimes surgery. A new wireless, Band-Aid-like sensor could revolutionize the way patients manage hydrocephalus and potentially save the U.S. health care system millions of dollars.

ImmusanT initiates phase 2 enrolment for its lead therapeutic vaccine candidate in patients with celiac disease.

A stunning report concludes that researchers often ask statisticians to make "inappropriate requests." Not accidental requests for incorrect statistical analyses; but unscrupulous data manipulation or even fraud.
