The folding brain creates a stress landscape, causing axons – the long, slender projections of neurons that transmit electrical impulses – to grow differently in different areas of the brain.

The researchers say the agents could one day be placed in a spray to protect crops.

Researchers at Virginia Tech found that PTSD from witnessing trauma triggers distinct brain changes compared to firsthand trauma. The study highlights differences in protein degradation and sex-specific responses.

Scientists have identified a key component to launching immune activity – and overactivity. The researchers identified a protein in cells that spurs the release of infection-fighting molecules.

Researchers found gut bacteria in brain implants, potentially causing inflammation and reducing device function. The study suggests that medical implants may breach the blood-brain barrier, allowing microbes to enter.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and their collaborators tested a novel approach to restore normal heart function in a mouse model of myotonic dystrophy type 1.

Researchers have developed a new strategy for assembling conductive organic materials using a highly-planar gold complex and ion pairing. This breakthrough offers enhanced solubility and charge segregation, paving the way for innovative electronics.

A genomic analysis suggests humans had the cognitive capacity for language at least 135,000 years ago, based on early population splits. Researchers examined genetic studies and migration patterns.

A first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence-based neural network can rapidly analyze and interpret millions of cells from a patient sample, predicting molecular changes in the tissue.

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen developed a hybrid paneer combining dairy and pea proteins to reduce cheese’s environmental footprint. Their study found that up to 25% of milk protein could be replaced without altering texture or taste.
