New research finds that strong social relationships help protect against obesity by influencing a complex communication system between the brain and gut.

A new MIT study illustrates how areas within the brain’s executive control center tailor their messages in specific circuits with other brain regions to influence them with information about behavior and internal feelings.

New research shows how breast cancer makes significant molecular changes in lymphatic vessels as it metastasizes to the lymph nodes.

Researchers examined five AI models on multiple genomic tasks to see how well they performed. The findings provide a framework for researchers to choose optimal AI models for specific tasks.

Discover how the tiny barbs on the feathers of the riflebird taught scientists how to make "ultrablack" merino wool fabric.

Researchers discovered over 41,000 missing transcripts in people from global populations, revealing major gaps in current gene maps built mainly from European genomes. Using long-read RNA sequencing, the team uncovered new gene activity.

Screening gut bacteria against hundreds of FDA-approved drugs revealed that tetracyclines activate hidden metabolic pathways in B. dorei, influencing immune function and potentially reshaping the gut microbiome.

USC researchers found that the mouse hippocampus’ CA1 region contains four distinct, shifting neuron layers defined by unique gene activity. Using high-resolution RNA imaging, they mapped over 330,000 RNA molecules to reveal this structure.

Adding spironolactone to HIV treatment shows promise in accelerating viral decay and reducing inflammation linked to chronic HIV infection.

Research shows that PFOS isomers in fish vary greatly, emphasizing the need for differentiated regulation of these harmful substances.
