New research has demonstrated that a novel targeted therapy could be an effective treatment option for a deadly pediatric cancer known as neuroblastoma.

Early exposure to antibiotics kills healthy bacteria in the digestive tract and can cause asthma and allergies, a new study demonstrates.

A team of researchers believe they have identified a cell signaling pathway responsible for the development of esophageal adenocarcinomas, an aggressive form of esophageal cancer that has gradually become more common, even in younger people.

Research has isolated the changes in pain-related brain activity that follow mindfulness training — pointing a way toward more targeted and precise pain treatment.

Being exposed to work requirements in order to receive food stamps from the U.S. government significantly increased use of mental health care resources for depression and anxiety, a new study has found. The policy’s negative effects occurred much soone…

Researchers have shown a direct link between vagus nerve stimulation and its connection to the learning centers of the brain. The discovery may lead to treatments that will improve cognitive retention in both healthy and injured nervous systems.

A gene that researchers discovered is responsible for the deadliest type of brain tumor is also responsible for two forms of childhood cancer, the scientists have found. The discovery may open the door to the first targeted treatments for two types of …

Researchers estimate the probability of getting COVID-19 on an airplane in the first year of the pandemic surpassed 1 in 1,000 on a totally full flight lasting two hours.

Researchers took a closer look at the current debate over the origin of enzymatic catalytic power and proposes a mechanism that unites the opposing theories.

The catastrophic debris flow that affected Montecito, Calif., in early January, 2018 was the result of a rare confluence of severe events. The Thomas Fire had been raging for weeks in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, and an unusually strong winter s…

Researchers have identified nearly 20,000 new or known drug side effects in children across developmental stages and made them freely available to other researchers.

Researchers have discovered a significant and previously unknown mechanism that many bacteria use to resist antibiotics.

Over the past 21 years of opioid overdose deaths, geography has played a role in where they have occurred, reports a new study. But the coming wave will not discriminate between rural and urban areas, the study findings suggest. Every type of county –…

The reaction generates amino acids and nucleic acids, the building blocks of proteins and DNA.

Researchers have combined data simulation and experimental observation to bridge a gap between two major properties of large-scale organization of the human brain — stationary and traveling waves of activity.

Researchers have published findings showing a novel drug helped to repair the damage caused by ischemic stroke in animal models.

To ensure a quick halt, brain circuit architecture avoids a slow process of integration in favor of quicker differentiation, a new neuroscience study finds.

New research shows that a needle-free mucosal bacteriophage (phage) T4-based COVID-19 vaccine is effective against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Using a new imaging technique, researchers have determined that retinal lesions from vitelliform macular dystrophy (VMD) vary by gene mutation. Addressing these differences may be key in designing effective treatments for this and other rare diseases.

People with sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy sleep behaviors could develop fatty liver disease, according to new research.
