Researchers open new avenues for the development of precision therapeutics targeting RNA

The new oxy/hydro vaccine takes advantage of the immune system’s ability to recognize, seek out, and neutralize invader

Until recently, there has been little more than anecdotal evidence to suggest that “food coma” is an actual physical condition

Knowledge about this protein, called Piezo 1, could be relevant for designing better pain medications and exploring future therapies for blood disorders, hypertension, and more

Scientists have now for the first time identified a sub-region in the brain that works to form a particular kind of memory: fear-associated with a specific environmental cue or “contextual fear memory”

Using nucleophilic probes, researchers discover a novel electrophilic protein modification

In the new study, the scientists observed the virus’s effects in animal models at two different points—during early postnatal development, when the brain is growing rapidly, and at weaning, when the brain has largely reached adult size

“Although we still have a long way to go, we’re making really good progress toward a human vaccine,” researcher said

“This study reveals a new approach to intervene in human disease,” says co-senior author of the new research

“This is the first real study of gene expression in the striatum for bipolar disorder,” said study director

More than 30 diseases, all of them incurable, are caused by RNA repeats

For scientists, the potent molecules in venoms hold the potential to be adapted into medicines

“Now researchers can focus on their own work instead of going through the data-wrangling effort.”

Researchers are developing quick ways to convert information into lead drugs by using several novel and transformative technologies they've developed

Findings could guide development of treatments for Lassa fever
