Previous analyses within the nucleus accumbens showed that different genes were turned on or off in women, but not in men diagnosed with depression. These changes could have caused symptoms of depression, or alternatively, the experience of being depre…

Researchers have shown that a quantum-inspired technique can be used to perform lidar imaging with a much higher depth resolution than is possible with conventional approaches. Lidar, which uses laser pulses to acquire 3D information about a scene or o…

People with systemic lupus erythematosus, or SLE, who received a ‘booster’ dose of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine after full vaccination are roughly half as likely to have a subsequent ‘breakthrough’ COVID-19 infection, a new study shows.

New COMAP radio survey will peer beneath the ‘tip of the iceberg’ of galaxies to unveil a hidden era of star formation.

Researchers have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to help protect bees from pesticides.

Researchers describe the biochemical pathway that results in the generation of oxidized mitochondrial DNA, how it is expelled by mitochondria and how it triggers the complex and destructive inflammatory response that follows.

New research brings into focus how prions might be formed and how they can result in different disease outcomes.

To develop new COVID-19 medications, researchers are working to target one protein, nsp13, that coronaviruses need to replicate. In a new study, one team describes a new approach to identifying molecules that interfere with this protein — a step towar…

Researchers have been able to produce antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in hen eggs. Antibodies harvested from eggs might be used to treat COVID-19 or as a preventative measure for people exposed to the disease.

A new longer-lasting sodium-ion battery design is much more durable and reliable in lab tests. After 300 charging cycles, it retained 90 percent of its charging capacity.

Health economics researchers have confirmed a causal relationship between lead-in-water and adverse fetal health outcomes. Although many studies have found a correlation between lead exposure and health, a causal link had been lacking in the literature…

Researchers have uncovered a previously unknown defense mechanism employed by the immune system in fighting Candida infections.

Urban areas with more vegetation, higher density of buildings and facilities, lower population density and without major roads are associated with better health behaviors in children, according to new research.

An AI tool for detection of incidental pulmonary embolus (iPE) on conventional contrast-enhanced chest CT examinations had high NPV and moderate PPV, even finding some iPEs missed by radiologists.
