Researcher found that exposed individuals with confirmed TB infection — i.e. a positive skin or blood test — should receive priority treatment in settings with a low prevalence of the disease, regardless of their age. However, in high-burden settings…

Chemists created an enzyme with boronic acid at its reactive center. This approach can produce more selective reactions with boron, and allows the use of directed evolution to improve its catalytic power.

Neuropathy, the nerve damage that causes pain and numbness in the feet and hands and can eventually lead to falls, infection and even amputation, is very common and underdiagnosed, according to a new study.

Spina bifida is the most common structural disorder of the human nervous system. The causes are largely unknown, but a new study points to a link involving a chromosomal microdeletion — and also underscores the value of folic acid as a preventive meas…

A tiny, flexible electronic device that wraps around the spinal cord could represent a new approach to the treatment of spinal injuries, which can cause profound disability and paralysis. A team of engineers, neuroscientists and surgeons developed the …

Researchers have shown that a breakthrough therapy for treating blood cancers can be adapted to treat solid tumors — an advance that could transform cancer treatment. The promising findings involve CAR-T cell therapy, which supercharges the immune sys…
