A redesigned immune-activating cancer drug has produced striking early results in a small clinical trial, shrinking tumors and sometimes eliminating them entirely.

Activating two somatostatin receptors enhances amyloid beta breakdown and improves memory in models of Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and the RIKEN Center for Brain...

Scientists have uncovered how some statins may cause muscle pain by disrupting calcium balance in muscle cells, offering paths to safer therapies. Many people discontinue cholesterol-lowering statins ...

New research suggests that regular aerobic exercise doesn’t just benefit the heart muscle, but subtly rewires the nerves that control how the heart works. Regular physical activity does more than impr...

Senescent “zombie” cells are linked to aging and multiple diseases, but spotting them in living tissue has been notoriously difficult. Researchers at Mayo Clinic have now taken an inventive leap by us...

The closer we look at time, the stranger it gets

Scientists at the University of Nottingham have developed a new protein-based gel that can restore tooth enamel by mimicking the body’s natural growth processes. A newly developed material has been us...

A peculiar object discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope just 700 million years after the Big Bang could reveal the origins of the earliest black holes in the universe, some experts say.

Scientists have repaired a natural gateway into the brains of mice, allowing the clumps and tangles associated with Alzheimer's disease to be swept away.

Researchers have identified two compounds, K102 and K110, that could repair the nerve damage from multiple sclerosis. These drugs help regenerate the protective myelin sheath and balance immune respon...

Researchers have designed a peptide that stabilizes a key brain protein linked to Parkinson’s. Scientists from the University of Bath, working with colleagues at the Universities of Oxford and Bristol...

Ohio State researchers have discovered that exhausted T cells collapse under the weight of misfolded proteins, activating a destructive stress response called TexPSR. Unlike normal stress systems, Tex...

Stem cell therapy reversed stroke damage in mice, regenerating neurons and restoring movement.

"We already see indications of cracks in the standard model."

Scientists in Zurich have shown that stem cell transplants can reverse stroke damage by regenerating neurons, restoring motor functions, and even repairing blood vessels. The breakthrough not only hea...

AbstractBackground and Aims. Recent trials have challenged the guideline recommendation of beta-blockers for post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients witho

Metformin, long trusted for diabetes, turns out to work in the brain too. By shutting down Rap1 in the hypothalamus, the drug lowers blood sugar more effectively than previously understood, opening do...

Even if your PC works just fine, you should still update the BIOS.

Scientists at Johns Hopkins have grown a first-of-its-kind organoid mimicking an entire human brain, complete with rudimentary blood vessels and neural activity. This new "multi-region brain organoid"...
