A new computational approach for analyzing complex datasets shows that as disease progresses, neurons and astrocytes lose the ability to maintain homeostasis.
A strategy for preventing boron-containing compounds from breaking down could help medicinal chemists design new drugs.
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large family of synthetic organic chemicals that do not occur naturally in the environment.
The gene variant disrupts lipid metabolism, but in cell experiments the effects were reversed by choline supplements.
C. elegans compares the ratio of wavelengths in its environment to avoid dangerous bacteria that secrete colorful toxins.
Oocyte growth relies on physical phenomena that drive smaller cells to dump their contents into a larger cell.
The 21-digit solution to the decades-old problem suggests many more solutions exist.
New technique speeds up calculations of drug molecules’ binding affinity to proteins.
As cell biologists, Université de Montréal professor Greg FitzHarris and his PhD student Lia Paim are very interested in fertility and what happens inside the eggs and embryos of the mice they study in their lab.
Zoos and aquariums could improve the lives of a wider range of their animals, new research suggests.
An intense but short-term exposure to cannabis vapor lowered sperm counts and slowed sperm movement, or motility, not only in the directly exposed male mice but also in their sons.
CO2 For more than 30 years, researchers throughout the world have assumed that the emergence of forests on the planet reduced the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. But this is not the case, a new study concludes. The insight it provides can help us understand how we can counter present-day climate change.
In the absence of consistent counseling from healthcare providers, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are getting information on using cannabis from the retail marijuana workers known as budtenders, according to a study led by Celestina Barbosa-Leiker, vice-chancellor for research at Washington State University Health Sciences.
A technique that measures the metabolic activity of bacteria with an electric probe can identify antibiotic resistance in less than 90 minutes, a dramatic improvement from the one to two days required by current techniques.
Relaxing limits on take-home doses of methadone—a medication used to treat opioid addiction—does not appear to lead to worse treatment outcomes, according to a new study led by Washington State University researchers.
A new congressionally mandated report recommends ways to hold nursing homes, dialysis centers, and long-term care hospitals accountable for appropriate use of antimicrobials.
Pets are not the only ones who experience separation anxiety; their people do too.
The bacteria that cause brucellosis need to steal food from their hosts’ bodies to survive, and Washington State University researchers may have identified an accomplice: a protein in the host cell.
It’s no secret that going without sleep can affect people’s mood, but a new study shows it does not interfere with their ability to evaluate emotional situations.
The presence of greenspaces near homes and schools is strongly associated with improved physical activity and mental health outcomes in kids, according to a massive review of data from nearly 300 studies.
