Researchers at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have discovered that a protein critical to a process called liquid-liquid phase separation within the cell undergoes internal changes in conformation that are key to its function.

Researchers found that one of the hundreds of components in scorpion venom can reduce the severity of the disease in animal models, without inducing side effects associated with similar treatments.

Scientists from have unpicked early changes in the brain that govern how toddlers with autism respond to social cues. Their research may open the way to new therapeutic interventions at early stages, when neural plasticity is still possible.

Research led by Johns Hopkins physicians and scientists shows that a test for measuring the length of DNA endcaps, called telomeres, which has a variability rate of 5 percent, can alter treatment decisions for patients with certain types of bone marrow failure.

Scientist have created a new high resolution map of the magnetic field lines in gas and dust swirling around the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. The team created the map, which is the first of its kind, using the CanariCam infrared camera attached to the Gran Telescopio Canarias on the island of La Palma.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have cured mice with Chuvash polycythemia, a life-threatening disorder that involves the overproduction of red blood cells.

A new study describes the anti-cancer effects of a natural alkaloid extracted from Daffodils. The researchers have discovered that this compound triggers the activation of an anti-tumoral surveillance pathway.
