A new study sheds light on the biological mechanism behind some genetic forms of epilepsy.
Researchers report that gender-affirming hormone therapy improves both physical and psychological satisfaction for those who use the treatment to attain their true gender identity.
Researchers uncover the mechanism behind how a subset of NSAIDs reduces inflammation, which helps explain some of the curious side effects of the anti-inflammatories.
While often associated with being a vulnerability, hypersensitivity can be a beneficial strength, researchers report.
Study reveals the ZNF117 gene is a major regulator of glioblastoma tumor cells.
AZD1236, an existing drug used primarily for the treatment of COPD, reduces damage following spinal cord injury by inhibiting the inflammatory response in the spinal cord.
Both genetics and environmental factors contribute to socioeconomic status' impact in an interplay with effects that spans several areas of the brain.
Researchers have identified ten novel genes and changes in the stria vascularis that appear to be associated with age-related hearing loss.
Study implicates the gene DJ1 in neuronal death associated with Parkinson's disease.
Differences in gene expression in key brain areas may account for the reason some are less fearful of change than others.
Researchers have detected biomarkers for the common fungicide azoxystrobin (AZ) in the urine of pregnant women and children between the ages of 40-84 months. In mouse models, AZ entered the brains of mice in-utero and killed some embryonic cortical neurons.
Hypermutation in children may be linked to increased mutations in the sperm of the biological father, especially fathers who received certain forms of chemotherapy to treat cancer early in life.
