Brand new research has revealed that even moderate daily physical activity can reduce the risk of depression.

Researchers have honed in on how the blood–brain barrier is formed during embryonic development and how it is maintained throughout adulthood.

Psychedelic-based therapies are poised to change the treatments that psychiatrists can offer patients. How well this research will be implemented into practice will depend on patients’ willingness to undergo psychedelic-based treatments.

Scientists have developed a new method to measure the smallest twists and torques of molecules within milliseconds, making it possible to track the gene recognition of CRISPR-Cas protein complexes.

Scientists have identified a new gene in volvocine green algae that plays a key role in activating genes responsible for sex determination.

The group of LMU scientist Eckhard Wolf has developed a porcine DMD model with a mutation, which mimics the hallmarks of the human disease but develops them in an accelerated mode.

Concentrations of plastic found in freshwater environments are actually higher than those found in so-called “garbage patches” in the ocean, according to a new study.

Heliconius butterflies’ brains grew as they adopted a novel foraging behaviour, scientists at the University of Bristol have found.

Harvard Medical School scientists have published the first chemical approach to reprogram cells to a younger state. Previously, this was only achievable using a powerful gene therapy.

For the first time, guidelines have been developed to ensure scientists include useful information alongside their disordered protein research data.
