Scientists hack the locust brain to identify the unique odor signatures of oral cancers.

CITE-seq draws upon the unbiased nature of single-cell RNA sequencing to gather new insights about protein and gene expression within the same cell.

A subset of hypothalamic neurons mirrors aggression in mice, challenging previous views on the location and functional role of these cells.

Clinicians and researchers teamed up to investigate how inappropriate proinflammatory mechanisms contribute to the pathogenesis of drug-refractory epilepsy.

Small plastic particulates can induce inflammatory responses in the gut and brain, but removing them reverses this damage.

The sympathetic nervous system influences gene expression in the heart to regulate the day-night cycle of resting heart rate.

This new understanding could one day lead to targeted treatments. 

George Church is at it again, this time using multiplex gene editing to create virus-proof cells, improve organ transplant success, and protect elephants.

Neuroscientists developed and tested a promising mobile app that mitigates age-related memory decline.

Microbiomes transplanted from women with anorexia nervosa into mice enhanced symptoms of the eating disorder, such as rapid weight loss and reduced appetite.

A new brain network responsible for complex movements may upend what we know about neural maps in primary motor areas

The mutation prevents certain amino acids from entering neurons, causing the cells to die early in development.

The changes may help explain the link between maternal infection and autism, though more research is needed.
