Researchers at the Institute of Molecular Pathology Biomarkers at the UEx have found a new biomarker for Alzheimer's disease of sporadic origin, the protein STIM1.

Scientists have discovered a gene that appears to play a vital role in pheromone sensing. The gene is conserved across fish and mammals and over 400 million years of vertebrate evolution, indicating that the pheromone sensing system is much more ancient than previously believed.

These criteria will arm medical professionals with necessary guidance when the use of lumbar puncture is an appropriate part of the process to diagnose Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.

In a new study that ultimately analyzed the genomes of nearly a quarter of a million men, a research team including UC San Francisco scientists has discovered that variants at a single site on Chromosome 6 are associated with a significantly higher risk of developing erectile dysfunction (ED).

Chemists have demonstrated complete experimental control over a chemical reaction just above absolute zero, important for spectroscopy and fundamental chemistry.

Understanding how physical organization of cells influences their identity is necessary for creating better organoids.

Water quality is threatened by the historical use of fertilizers on land.

A new study from the Scripps Research laboratory of Sathyanarayanan Puthanveettil, PhD, peers deep within the nucleus of developing brain cells and finds that long noncoding RNAs play an important role in the healthy functioning and maintenance of synapses, the communication points between nerve cells in the brain.

Compounds metabolized from grapes, dark chocolate, coffee, and blueberries can be used to treat depression.

Ten new research awards totaling nearly $4 million will allow researchers to study possible links between gut microflora and the transformation of dietary compounds into metabolites.
