ETH Zurich researchers have generated over 400 human nerve cell types from stem cells using systematic combinations of morphogens and gene activation. This improves disease modeling for conditions like Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia.

Gabapentin, often prescribed for chronic back pain, may raise the risk of dementia and memory issues, according to a study of over 50,000 adults. The effect was strongest in people aged 35–64 with frequent prescriptions.

In an announcement on July 8, the federal agency said it “plans to implement a new policy that will cap how much publishers can charge NIH-supported scientists to make their research findings publicly accessible.”

Researchers found that tirzepatide, a medication primarily used for treating type 2 diabetes and weight loss, reduced body weight, food intake and many measures of appetite more than placebo and liraglutide.

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.

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

The newly created protein, termed "de novo-1", binds to a heme-related target in E. coli, preventing the bacteria from acquiring the iron it needs to survive.

The study reveals how interactions between cryptic mutations can increase or decrease the number of reproductive branches on tomato plants.

MIT engineers have designed an implantable reservoir that can remain under the skin and be triggered to release glucagon when blood sugar levels get too low.

New research suggests that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has four distinct subtypes: social and behavioral challenges, mixed ASD with developmental delay, moderate challenges and broadly affected.
