UC Berkeley and Caltech researchers identified a gene circuit in zebrafish that allows heart regeneration after injury. Using CRISPR, they pinpointed key genes like egr1 that may reactivate heart repair in humans.

For the first time, researchers have discovered and isolated adult stem cells from a non-human primate. This finding could transform the foundation for how we develop stem cell treatments.

Salk Institute scientists identified a brain circuit that gives pain its emotional intensity. This CGRP-linked spinothalamic pathway connects to the amygdala, triggering distress and avoidance.

Clinical trials have shown the safety and efficacy of two promising antibiotics as potential alternatives to linezolid in the treatment of tuberculosis.

Researchers recorded hundreds of neurons in freely flying bats, uncovering how neural replay and theta sequences support memory and planning. The study revealed that replay duration is fixed regardless of flight length.

Drinking water treatment that pursues a multi-contaminant approach, tackling several pollutants at once, could prevent more than 50,000 lifetime cancer cases in the US, finds a new peer-reviewed study by the Environmental Working Group.

Combining paleontological tools and archaeological data with conservation research, the paper finds that, for the past 3,000 years, crab and clam species have remained stable in the Broken Group Islands off the west coast of Vancouver Island.

The organelle, a type of specialized structure, has been dubbed a “hemifusome” by its discoverers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health.

A new study, for the first time, shows how exercise improves cancer outcomes and enhances response to immunotherapy in mice by reshaping the gut microbiome.

New research finds that not only will climate change make heat waves hotter and longer, but the lengthening of heat waves will accelerate with each additional fraction of a degree of warming.
