The signal, produced by neurons, helps the barrier form and maintain its protective properties.

A team of researchers has discovered that the memory of the immune system relies on characteristic epigenetic features and a specific 3D arrangement of the DNA in the nucleus of memory cells, allowing for a fast activation of these cells.

A team of immune-engineers have developed a novel biomaterials-based immunotherapy approach named SIVET that has the potential to break down barriers.

Researchers developed a method to produce artificially grown miniature brains – called human brain organoids – free of animal cells that could greatly improve the way neurodegenerative conditions are studied and, eventually, treated.

In a new study published in Nature, scientists from Google Research have introduced a novel benchmark, known as MultiMedQA, for evaluating the ability of large language models (LLMs) to present accurate answers to medical questions.

Artificial intelligence has provided the most accurate estimate yet of the bat population in Kasanka National Park, Zambia, recording the presence of between 750,000 and 1 million bats – the largest colony by biomass anywhere in the world.

Routine blood pressure readings recorded in the first half of pregnancy can be divided into 6 distinct patterns that can effectively stratify patients by their risk of developing preeclampsia and gestational hypertension later in pregnancy.

Researchers have developed the first therapy of its kind that disrupts prostate cancer cells’ metabolism and releases the chemotherapy medication cisplatin into the weakened cells, causing them to die.
