Some elements of human immune systems serve important functions beyond fighting infections.

Gene reactivation restored hearing after loss in mice, but the timing of intervention is key.

Al dente asparagus stalks may hold the key to successful neural stem cell therapy for repairing injured axons.

Researchers find that the sugar myo-inositol is abundant early in lactation and increases synapse size and abundance in the developing brain.

Researchers integrate scRNA-seq, spatial transcriptomics, and histology imaging data to show that spatial cellular architecture predicts glioblastoma prognosis.

Researchers developed a novel protein fiber that tracks transcriptional events over time in living cells. This could shine a light on gene regulation during development or after cellular perturbations.

During development, neurons trim hundreds of excess axons in an intricately coordinated destructive process.

A neuropeptide suppressed feeding in two evolutionarily distant species, suggesting that hunger regulation may go back to the roots of the tree of life.

Brain-like tissue grown in a dish mimics critical periods for development and reveals how it can go wrong.

Scientists established an epigenetic mouse model for glioma, providing insight into how epigenetics can initiate cancer.

Data from a highly resilient individual guided researchers to new potential therapeutic targets.

This year’s Breakthrough Prizes honor advances in CAR T cancer therapies, cystic fibrosis, and Parkinson’s disease.

First developed in 2013, a fluorescent indicator has evolved to enable precise glutamate tracking.

Researchers took a mind-bending trip to understand the connections between psychedelic compounds produced by fungi, plants, and humans.
