Recent findings involving the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans mark a major milestone in the field of 'connectomics'

Scientists reveal that the answer is all in your head—more specifically, your arcuate nucleus

Findings could help predict which patients will suffer side effects and prevent complications in susceptible patients

The new treatment approach was directed against acute myeloid leukemia cells but may also have potential for attacking other types of cancers

The finding, made in mice, could lead to new strategies for warding off age-related diseases and extending lifespan

The findings, published online May 18 in the journal Cell, could lead to the first broadly effective ebolavirus therapies and vaccines

Advance could also work against other viruses

Breakthrough technology allows Einstein scientists to observe protein production at the root of diseases

Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University and their international collaborators have developed a novel fluorescence microscopy technique that for the first time shows where and when proteins are produced. The technique allows researchers to directly observe individual messenger RNA molecules (mRNAs) as they are translated into proteins in living cells. The technique, carried out in living human cells and fruit flies, should help reveal how irregularities in protein synthesis contribute to developmental abnormalities and human disease processes including those involved in Alzheimer’s disease and other memory-related disorders. The research will be published the March 20 edition of Science. 

For its 2014 BioArt Awards, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) awarded top honors for an image produced by postdoctoral fellow Sabriya Stukes and processed by Hillary Guzik in the Albert Einstein College of Medicine's Analytical Imaging Facility.

Antibody therapy could fight second-most deadly strain of virus.

High resolution X-ray crystallography is an imaging technique in which X-ray beams are shot through purified, crystallized proteins. The beam scatters in different directions, allowing scientists to construct a detailed, 3-D model of the crystallized protein's molecular structure. Measuring the intensities and angles of the diffracted beams reveals the position of each atom in the protein.

Breakthrough Allows Einstein Scientists to Probe How Memories Form in Nerve Cells.

Male scientists are far more likely to commit fraud than females and the fraud occurs across the career spectrum, from trainees to senior faculty. The analysis of professional misconduct was co-led by a researcher at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University and was published today in the online journal mBio.
