Dehydration alters human brain shape and activity, slackens task performance
When dehydration strikes, part of the brain can swell, neural signaling can intensify, and doing monotonous tasks can get harder.
Two molecules offer great potential to combat cancer and chronic infections: Gladstone scientists discover how to enhance the longevity of cells that kill tumors and infected cells
To fight viral infections, your immune system calls on CD8 T cells to kill the infected cells. The CD8 T
A molecular switch may serve as new target point for cancer and diabetes therapies
If certain signaling cascades are misregulated, diseases like cancer, obesity and diabetes may occur. A mechanism recently discovered by scientists
Nowhere to hide: Molecular probe illuminates elusive cancer stem cells in live mice
After a primary tumor is treated, cancer stem cells may still lurk in the body, ready to metastasize and cause
Leopard geckos can make new brain cells
University of Guelph researchers have discovered the type of stem cell allowing geckos to create new brain cells, providing evidence
Targeting headaches and tumors with nano-submarines
Scientists at the Mainz University Medical Center and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) have developed a new
Pucker up, baby! Lips take center stage in infants’ brains
A typically developing 2-month-old baby can make cooing sounds, suck on her hand to calm down and smile at people.
Neuronal ‘barcodes’ shape complex networks in the brain
The brain is an enormously complex organ. Understanding how billions of brain cells succeed in making precise connections is a
Secrets of ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ pancreatic cancer tumors revealed: Immune cell makeup of tumors is controlled by factors specific to individual cancer cells
So-called “hot” tumors filled with T cells are often considered to be more sensitive to immunotherapy compared to “cold” tumors
