Study reveals how two key molecules, Rab27b, and epiregulin, interact to contribute to radioresistance in glioblastoma brain cancer. Read More
For carriers of the Parkinson's related LRRK2 gene, coffee consumption can help lower the risk of developing symptoms of the disease. Read More
Children learn more and remember better when writing by hand, a new study reports. The brains of children are more active when handwriting than typing on a computer keyboard. Read More
Receptor potentiation was observed when the antagonists bind to receptors that consist of different subunits, where it acts as a subunit. Read More
Research shows it is possible to stimulate stem cells in the spinal cord to produce large amounts of new oligodendrocytes. Read More
Researchers have identified mutations in single genes that appear to be responsible for some cases of cerebral palsy which were not caused as a result of birth injury. Read More
While poor sleep can have some impact on metabolism, drinking coffee immediately after waking can harm glucose control. Strong black coffee consumed before breakfast increased blood glucose response to food by 50%. Read More
Study reveals a link between people with depression who are prescribed newer antipsychotic medications and higher mortality risk. Read More
Researchers have identified a bio-chemical circuit that supports neuron-microglia communication. When neurons are active, they release ATP. Microglia sense extracellular ATP and the compound draws the immune cell toward the neuron. Read More
Breastfeeding mothers with higher levels of oxytocin show more enhanced positive recognition of adult faces. The findings shed light on how oxytocin may support both continued nurturing behaviors and affects general social cognition of other adults. Read More
A specialized area of the mouse brain called the SuM specializes in detecting novel experiences. Within this brain area, responses to social novelty, or experiences related to unknown individuals, were segregated from those related to unfamiliar places, before being sent to areas of the brain associated with memory.
