A medical therapy that inhibits the growth of cancer cells may one day be effective at treating Lyme disease, according to new research study.

Using ultra-high-precision laser spectroscopy on a simple molecule, a group of physicists has measured the wave-like vibration of atomic nuclei with an unprecedented level of precision. The physicists report that they can thus confirm the wave-like mov…

To study play behaviors in animals, scientists must be able to authentically simulate play-conducive environments in the laboratory. Animals like rats are less inclined to play if they are anxious or restrained, and there is minimal data on the brain a…

A metabolic by-product that is more prevalent during fasting may supercharge immune cells as they fight infection and disease, reports an early stage study. The findings may pave the way for future personalized dietary recommendations to augment treatm…

Infants who nap a lot have smaller vocabularies and poorer cognitive skills — according to new research.

Scientists identified the region where a protein regulates sodium ion channels, inserting the channel’s genetic material into a virus to alleviate pain in cell and animal studies.
