Single-cell gene expression patterns in the brain, and evidence from follow-up experiments, reveal many shared cellular and molecular similarities that could be targeted for potential treatment.

Researchers also found that a variant of the protein is not as protective against the bacteria and increases susceptibility to the disease.

With the new technique, MIT researchers hope to identify mutations that could be targeted with new cancer therapies.

A new study finds precancerous colon cells turn on a gene called SOX17, which helps them evade detection and develop into more advanced tumors.

Many evolutionary changes also come with costs.

Research has revealed how British otters may have been able to recover from species loss in the 1950s with the help of otters from Asia.

Understanding how the ageing of sperm works in other animals is more important than ever as human male fertility is in decline.

Early human development is a complex, multistep process that’s even more complicated to study in the lab. Models made from stem cells avoid some of the trouble with using real human embryos.

‘Jaws,’ published in 1974, terrified the public of sharks, but it also brought shark research into the scientific mainstream.

Improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms of addiction can change how researchers and clinicians approach treatments.
