A study from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory highlights a new target in Alzheimer’s research: blocking the enzyme PTP1B restored learning and memory in mice by reactivating the brain’s own immune cells to clear amyloid plaques. The results open the door to combination therapies that could go beyond current plaque-focused treatments and slow disease progression.

Courtney Blackwell, a pediatric mental health and well-being expert at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, has led one of the first nationwide studies in the U.S. to examine how younger children use social media and how those experiences may relate to mental health and development.

Scientists have developed a new technology that can eavesdrop on the hidden electrical dialogues unfolding inside ‘mini brains’ also called as human neural organoids.

Researchers in Germany have uncovered how elephants achieve their remarkable tactile precision: the whiskers covering their trunks combine a stiff base with a soft, resilient tip, creating a built-in sensing gradient.

A new study has revealed that South Asians in the USA have a higher risk of heart disease by age 45 as compared to other population groups despite doing all the right things for heart health.

Decades of basic research on the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes have culminated in an unexpected medical application: a novel cancer therapy designed to activate the body’s innate immune system.

Researchers from ETH Zurich have demonstrated why only a small number of planets have the chemical requirements for life — and why the Earth is so fortunate. Their findings may have consequences for the search for life elsewhere in the universe.

Regular exercise can significantly reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety — in many cases as effectively as medication or psychotherapy.

A new study has found that obesity may increase the risk of severe infections such as influenza, Covid-19, pneumonia, and gastrointestinal and urinary tract infections in people.

In a new study, middle-age and older adult participants were asked to extend their overnight fast by about two hours, dim the lights and not eat for three hours prior to bedtime. This change enhanced measures of cardiovascular and metabolic health during sleep, as well as during the day.
