While studying tuberculosis (TB) susceptibility in zebrafish, scientists believe they have solved the query as to why Ashkenazi Jews are significantly more susceptible to a rare genetic disorder, and less susceptible to TB.

A soft robotic wearable device has been designed to assist upper arm and shoulder movement in people with ALS.

According to research, a protein called Ezrin alters signal processing and the shape of astrocytes, which could mitigate the toxicity of neurotransmitters and protect mice from stress.

Researchers have identified a drug candidate for the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

For the first time, researchers have shown that prostate cancer can be killed by targeting a single enzyme.

A cascade of various events is required for the transmission of signals within cells. Researchers observed that the signaling protein NEMO also forms condensates and identified the underlying mechanism. These findings are crucial for understanding signaling processes in the immune and nervous systems.

According to research, two distinct processes are triggered in the human brain when exposed to prolonged or repeated sensory inputs.

The brains of obese mice have been shown to respond differently to sugar, with levels of an excitatory neurotransmitter being higher and sugar taking longer to reach the part of the brain involved in motivation.

Researchers found that one in five newborn babies may not have measles antibodies passed down from their mothers. Other strategies may need to be considered in case of an outbreak that affects babies before they can receive their MMR vaccine at 12 months of age.

A new study has developed a prediction algorithm that works out which genes are essential in cancer cells by analyzing tumor genetic changes, which could guide personalized cancer treatments.
