Researchers have discovered that one of humanity’s closest relatives also experiences menopause, contradicting a popular hypothesis about the evolutionary origins of this process. Continue reading Chimpanzees go through menopause, too
Knowing the type of brain tumor can help determine how aggressive the surgeon should be in removing it. A new study has created a procedure using machine learning and DNA sequencing to quickly classify tumors and guide the surgery while it is happening. Continue reading Machine learning can rapidly identify brain tumor type to guide surgery
Researchers have discovered that COVID-19 patients with low levels of cortisol—a hormone that regulates inflammation—are more likely to develop long COVID. Continue reading Low cortisol? You may be at risk of developing long COVID
Scientists have discovered a new way to study Alzheimer’s disease in mice, revealing how brain cells die in AD. This breakthrough could lead to new treatments that slow or stop the disease. Continue reading Hope for New Alzheimer’s Treatments as Scientists Discover How Brain Cells Die
A group of researchers from Shanghai built a customizable circuit that operates entirely with DNA, a groundbreaking step towards general-purpose DNA computing. Continue reading Scientists create a customizable circuit made from DNA
Researchers have discovered and characterized new types of immune cells in the thymus, a small gland found in the space between our lungs. Continue reading Newly discovered cells expand our understanding of the immune system
Lupins are high in protein, but bitter. However, scientists have discovered a mutation that makes lupins sweet, opening the door for their consumption as a plant-based protein source. Continue reading Lupin breakthrough could make this plant a popular source of protein
Using a well-established non-human primate model, researchers were able to successfully treat alcohol use disorder with a gene therapy targeting the dopamine reward system. Continue reading Gene therapy for alcoholism successful in monkeys
A group of researchers from across the country found that whole genome sequencing identified more potentially disease-causing variants than targeted gene panels in hospitalized infants Continue reading Genome Sequencing Finds More Rapid Diagnoses Than Targeted Gene Panels in Hospitalized Infants
