Novel material mimics enamel’s complex structure with stronger components

Researchers have discovered a critical role the dorsal precentral gyrus plays in how people use the sound of their voices to control how they want the words they speak to sound.

Data from mouse models for mild coronavirus infections and human tissue samples offer further evidence that it doesn’t take a severe infection—or even infection of brain cells at all—to cause long-term neurological symptoms.

A study detected abnormalities in people who had had Covid but did not need hospital treatment.

Doctors say long-lasting effects show CAR-T therapy can ‘cure’ some patients

Two recent papers provide insight into possible risk factors for developing the chronic condition, including autoantibodies and diabetes.

It’s too early to tell whether CBD helps against Covid-19 — but researchers worry that won’t stop CBD makers.

To determine the impact of genetic variants on the brain, we used genetically informed brain atlases in genome-wide association studies of regional cortical surface area and thickness in 39,898 adu...

ABSTRACT It has been widely claimed that reductions in allocated teaching time and the widespread implementation of short-cut teaching methodologies has led to a shortfall in anatomy knowledge amon...

Scientists have just launched GENIGMA, a videogame that enlists players to solve puzzles while generating real-world scientific data that can detect alterations in genomic sequences and ultimately advance breast cancer research.

The game was created to boost worldwide research efforts that depend on cancer cell lines, a critical resource used by scientists to study cancer and test new drugs to treat the disease.

One of the limitations of cancer cell lines are a lack of high-resolution genome reference maps, which are necessary to help researchers interpret their scientific results.
