Researchers have illuminated how the randomness of the piriform cortex is actually critical to how the brain distinguishes between similar odors.

Early research shows that in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors, cannabinoids may significantly improve cancer care.

Some 18 million years ago, an ancestor of mouse-eared bats “stole” genetic material from an ancient virus related to Ebola. The swiped genetic sequence — a gene called VP35 — has remained largely intact in the bats despite the passage of time, with few changes since it was co-opted, a new study finds.

The patent, Production of Cannabidiolic Acid in Yeast, describes the modification of yeast to produce CBDA from simple feedstocks such as sugar.

Improved stability for biosensing applications achieved using synthetic biology to protect nanotube sensors

A study out of Stanford in which blood sugar levels were continuously monitored reveals that even people who think they’re “healthy” should pay attention to what they eat.

This move fulfills the Ohio legislative mandate that an Ohio public college or university serve as a testing lab for the new medical cannabis program to promote public safety.

A team of researchers has identified a protein complex that might explain why some cancer patients treated with the revolutionary new anti-cancer drugs known as PARP inhibitors develop resistance to their medication.

Researchers have discovered how antibodies secreted in the gut promote the growth of beneficial bacteria by altering the expression of bacterial genes.

A drug discovery tool, the first of its kind, is launched today in a fresh bid to revitalise the urgent search for new antibiotics.
