The biochemical mechanisms in the brain underlying suicidal behavior are beginning to come to light, and researchers hope they could one day lead to better treatment and prevention strategies.

The Rockefeller University neuroendocrinologist made landmark discoveries on how hormones affect brain structure.

What do scientists know about this membraneless nuclear body discovered less than two decades ago?

Discovering a new type of subnuclear body taught me how pursuing the unexpected can lead to new insights—in this case, about long noncoding RNAs and liquid-liquid phase separation in cells.

Research has repeatedly suggested that spending time in natural environments improves mental and physical well-being. Now, scientists are gathering the data needed to incorporate this phenomenon in health-care guidelines.

A brain-activated, bone-derived hormone called osteocalcin regulates the acute stress response in rodents and possibly humans.

Transmission of stress signals in E. coli is dependent on the distance between its inner and outer membranes.
