After 10 years of research, a Rutgers-led team of scientists has identified two molecules that protect nerve cells after a traumatic brain injury and could lead to new drug treatments.

A new study of the role microbial communities play on the leaves of plants suggests that fertilizing crops may make them more susceptible to disease.

A new genetic screen may be able to predict low bone-mineral density, osteoporosis and fracture risk prior to clinical symptoms, according to a retrospective study of nearly 400,000 people by a Stanford researcher.

A team headed by Manuel Serrano at IRB Barcelona has designed a drug encapsulation system that selectively targets senescent cells. The study paves the way for therapeutic approaches to eliminate senescent cells in many diseases, such as pulmonary fibrosis and cancer.

Scientists have succeeded for the first time in producing a biotechnical reaction which uses gaseous CO2 as a raw material for the production of a chemical mass-produced product.

Cells that promote muscle reparation also activate a feed-forward pathway that promotes wasting and fibrosis.

A new drug discovery system allows scientists to specifically target members of an important family of enzymes, called phosphatases, which were previously considered mostly "undruggable".

Thinner retinas in the human eye are a clear sign a person is at significant and increased risk of future mental decline, a UCL-led study has concluded.

“Some changes can occur in a relatively short time while other changes require much more practice.”

FDA-approved diagnostic blood test reduces the use of unnecessary head CT scans in people with suspected TBI.
