Adults with atopic dermatitis (AD) have a 34 percent increased risk of developing new-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) compared with individuals who do not have the skin condition, and children have a 44 percent increased risk, according to a new…
Computer models provide new insight into how the neurotransmitter dopamine controls learning and decision-making processes.
Researchers have developed a way of detecting the early onset of deadly infectious diseases using a test so ultrasensitive that it could someday revolutionize medical approaches to epidemics. The test is an electronic sensor contained within a computer…
It is often hard to understand the source of pain in babies and children, and if they experience it often or for a long time, it can do severe damage.

As the days get shorter and chillier in the northern hemisphere, those who choose to work out in the mornings might find it harder to get up and running. A new study identifies a protein that, when missing, makes exercising in the cold that much harder…
Fundamental questions of agency — acting with purpose — have perplexed some of the greatest minds in history including Sir Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. Now, human babies provide groundbreaking insight into the origins of agency. Since goal-direct…
Researchers discover how molecules in ancient glass rearrange and recombine with minerals over centuries to form a patina of photonic crystals — ordered arrangements of atoms that filter and reflect light in very specific ways — an analog of material…
