A professor from the University of Southern California has demonstrated the use of a brain implant to improve the human memory.
An experimental gene therapy for a rare skin disease sheds light on the cellular mechanisms that help healthy skin continuously regenerate.
By scanning the brains of healthy volunteers, researchers saw the first, long-sought evidence that our brains may drain some waste out through lymphatic vessels, the body's sewer system.
On October 2, Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young were awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine “for their discoveries of molecular mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm.”
A new study has produced an antibody that's able to kill off 99 percent of HIV strains. It is said to be more effective than any naturally occurring antibody that's been discovered.
After a 30-year quest, a US professor has discovered the molecule that stores long-term memories. The discovery resolves one of the oldest mysteries in neuroscience — how do our brains create and retain long-term memories.
A treatment already in use for epilepsy and depression—can help to restore consciousness even after many years in a vegetative state.
UK scientists have created the world’s first “molecular robot” that is capable of performing basic tasks including building other molecules.
Scientists have made a breakthrough in understanding how mitochondria - the "powerhouses" of human cells - are made.
Researchers have developed a device that can switch cell function to rescue failing body functions with a single touch.
A chance discovery has opened up a new method of finding unknown viruses.
The data is unpublished, but scientists say it advances effort to erase genetic diseases.
This may be the first ever recorded case of “healing” brain damage.
Researchers in Europe have created a soft artificial heart that mimics the real one. The approach could revolutionize the way patients with heart disease are treated.
Now, for the first time, Stanford University researchers have used long-read, whole genome sequencing to diagnose a patient.
