Researchers at King's College London have identified 'karyoptosis,' a form of cell death in which a neuron's nucleus shrinks and shatters under the strain of toxic proteins — a process far more common in diseased brains than healthy ones.
Research involving over 110,000 women found those taking Ozempic, Wegovy, and similar medications had significantly reduced cancer rates, though clinical trials are still needed.
Researchers use advanced CRISPR technique to precisely edit embryo genes for the first time, raising both hope and ethical concerns.
Researchers found that removing the IDOL enzyme from neurons significantly reduced amyloid plaques and improved brain processes linked to resilience.
The multi-agent system completed the entire scientific discovery process from hypothesis to validation, identifying ripasudil as a potential treatment for dry macular degeneration.
Researchers enhance Sox9 protein in astrocytes to help brain clear harmful plaques while preserving memory in mouse studies.
First evidence of these prized compounds found in just one of three strains studied, revealing unexpected chemical diversity in cannabis plants.
Comprehensive review of 217 trials shows walking, cycling and swimming outperform other exercise types in reducing pain and improving function.
Researchers pinpoint two specific cell types that behave differently in depression, offering new treatment targets.
Researchers at McGill University have pinpointed two distinct cell types that function differently in people with depression, offering new targets for treatment.
The White House order accelerates research and clinical trials for psilocybin, MDMA, and ibogaine while expanding 'Right to Try' access for these controlled substances.
Leipzig University researchers identified a molecular receptor that controls bone formation and showed a new compound called AP503 can dramatically boost bone density in mice, pointing toward a new class of osteoporosis treatment.
University of Geneva researchers found cancer spread follows a predictable molecular program, and their MangroveGS tool can read it from standard tumor RNA sequencing.
Kumamoto University researchers develop system that could finally replace daily injections with pills for diabetes patients worldwide.
