A new study may clarify why NSAIDs like ibuprofen and aspirin can have unexpected and unexplained effects on diseases like heart disease and cancer.

Half a million people in the US have died from opioid overdose in the past 10 years. Researchers hope a living bioengineered nerve circuit can change that.

A new discovery of how a potent neuropeptide binds to a brain receptor involved in causing human pain could lead to new painkilling medications.
