Our immune systems have the thankless jobs of guarding us from bacterial and viral invaders and preventing cancer development. Most of the time, we do not notice this hard work because the invaders ...

Researchers have developed a new computational approach that uncovers possible drugs for specific cellular targets for ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

How do stem cells know what to become? Nearly three decades after scientists isolated the first human embryonic stem cells, researchers are still working hard to understand precisely how a single, ...
