In 1982, two Australian physician-scientists discovered a spiral-shaped bacterium whose form not only dictated function, but its capacity to dwell in the human body's harshest chemical environment. These two clues would help ...
Professional athletic sports require elite athletes to function at the very limit of their abilities. After all, their competition consists entirely of other elite athletes trying to do just that. In this environment of fast-paced ...

The Netherlands Cancer Institute has found that the estrous cycle stage significantly influences mammary tumors' sensitivity to chemotherapy. In mouse models of breast cancer, treatment initiated during the diestrus stage ...
It was a good year for medical research as a team of neurobiologists at New York University conducted experiments that showed human non-brain cells are capable of carrying out memory functions. They engineered non-brain cells ...
The link between early life experiences and mental health has been widely explored by psychology researchers. One key aspect of human early life experiences is the relationship that people develop with their parental figures, ...
University of Southern California-led researchers have discovered the structural details of a brain receptor called GPR6, which could lead to new treatments for Parkinson's disease.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-led research demonstrates that an oral antiviral drug, 4′-fluorouridine (4′-FlU), effectively inhibits lethal arenavirus infections in animal models.
Euclidean geometry is the branch of mathematics describing shapes and the spatial relationships between objects in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) settings. The rules of Euclidean geometry guide our understanding ...
Research led by Fudan University and the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention in China reports that indoor air purification significantly improves respiratory health in school-aged children.
