Research from the University of Exeter reveals that engaging with puzzles—be it crosswords, sudoku, or visual challenges—can help maintain brain health, potentially delaying the onset of dementia

The European Research Council is funding a consortium consisting of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, ETH Zurich and TU Graz with a total of 10 million euros for developing new methods to determine the mechanical properties of living human tissue.

Researchers identified a unique antibody signature against the Epstein-Barr virus protein EBNA1 that correlates with cross-reactive immune responses in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. This connection provides new insights into how EBV infection may drive MS pathogenesis.

When Chinese scientists recently claimed to have combined tardigrade genes with human DNA - to produce a human gene resistant to radiation - it set alarms ringing in the West.

Researchers from the TEDDY study highlight how specific genetic and environmental factors may drive early autoimmunity linked to type 1 diabetes in children, emphasizing distinct patterns for different autoantibodies.

Along with defending against pathogens, the body's innate immune system helps to protect the stability of our genomes in unexpected ways -; ways that have important implications for the development of cancer, researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) are discovering.

Lifestyle can shape the composition of beneficial bacteria and other microorganisms within the mouth, according to a new study led by Penn State biologists.

Neutropenia is a condition in which there are not enough neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, in the blood.

A toxic plant that can temporarily cause blindness and quickly invade coastal areas has been found in large numbers established on a remote beach.

The path was unexpectedly blocked by the landowner back in 2003, prompting a local resident to fight for change

Over the past two decades, new technologies have helped scientists generate a vast amount of biological data. Large-scale experiments in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and cytometry can produce enormous quantities of data from a given cellular or multicellular system.

In a new study, researchers at the University of Copenhagen have been cultivating 'good viruses' from feces. The goal is to replace fecal capsules now being used in so-called fecal transplants. Their new technique has shown potential in studies with mice and the hope is that it will improve this life-saving treatment through standardization and pave its way toward mainstream medicine.
