Artificial intelligence (AI) draws inspiration from current knowledge of the human brain, artificially replicating some of its learning processes and functions. The extent to which artificial agents successfully emulate the ...
Cytokines are proteins that help the human body to control and support the work of the immune system. Over the past few decades, a growing number of studies have been exploring the role of specific cytokines, including IL-12, ...
Neuroscience studies have found that the brain spontaneously organizes events and life experiences into memories, which can be mentally retrieved and replayed at different points in time. These memories of past events are ...
Therapeutic antibodies that cause aggressive tumors to become susceptible to treatment are being studied with the hope of one day changing the fate of patients who either relapse soon after cancer therapy or whose stubborn ...
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing recently reported intriguing new evidence for a possible mouse origin of the Omicron variant. Their paper, posted on the BioRxiv preprint server, was quickly picked ...
