Study identifies how ketamine works as a rapid antidepressant

Ketamine is the speedster of antidepressants, working within hours compared to more common antidepressants that can take several weeks. But ketamine can only be given for a limited amount of time because of its many side effects.

Surprising outcomes trigger release of noradrenaline in the brain, MIT study finds

When your brain needs you to pay attention to something important, one way it can do that is to send out a burst of noradrenaline, according to a new MIT study.

Scientists unlock the cellular secrets of aging process

New research has uncovered how genetic changes that accumulate slowly in blood stem cells throughout life are likely to be responsible for the dramatic change in blood production after the age of 70.

Membrane lipid stops stress reactions and inhibits cell death

Programmed cell death is an important tool that an organism uses to keep itself healthy. When a cell does not function as it should, various stress reactions are activated. The goal of these reactions is to restore the original cell function.

Neuroscientists study the formation of fear memories in the brain's emotional hub

Experiencing a frightening event is likely something you'll never forget. But why does it stay with you when other kinds of occurrences become increasingly difficult to recall with the passage of time?

Study finds a link between aging and cancer metastases

Spreading cancer cells that escape a primary tumor site can seed in tissues distant from the tumor, but may take several years or decades to grow into full metastatic cancers.

Researchers identify chemical compound that may short-circuit brain cell death in Parkinson's disease

In studies in mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say they have identified a chemical compound that stops the final events in the pathway linked to the death of brain cells in Parkinson's disease.

New findings reveal potential mechanisms for cellular defects in human laminopathies

A Northwestern Medicine study has uncovered distinct roles for major nuclear lamin isoforms in maintaining intracellular interactions and cellular mechanics, according to findings published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

UCI-led study identifies sex-specific circuits of muscle signaling to other tissues

A new University of California, Irvine-led study identifies sex-specific circuits of muscle signaling to other tissues and that the organs and processes muscle impacts are markedly different between males and females.

Aging does not influence liver renewal, research shows

The liver has a unique ability to regenerate after damage. However, it was unknown whether this ability decreases as we age.

New study demonstrates the collapse of coalitions in microbial ecosystems

Government coalitions often dissolve when too many parties disagree on too many issues. Even if a coalition seems stable for some time, a small crisis can cause a chain reaction that eventually causes the system to collapse.

Researchers discover how a workhorse protein keeps protein production on track

Cells produce proteins like little factories. But if they make too much at the wrong times it can lead to diseases like cancer, so they control production with a process called RNA interference (RNAi).

Scientists discover a new role for protein complex at the center of Bardet-Biedl syndrome

Scientists have identified a new role for a protein complex at the center of a human genetic disorder called Bardet-Biedl syndrome, or BBS, for which there is currently no cure.

IOB's new scRNA-seq protocol provides a snapshot of the cell transcriptome at unprecedented resolution

Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) shows which genes are turned on in a cell and what their level of transcription is. This allows in-depth assessment of the biology of individual cells, and detection of changes that may indicate disease.

SARS-CoV-2 evolutionary trends provide insights into its adaptive process to human hosts

The loss of genome heterogeneity in CoVs leads to high viral fitness variants that adapt to the human host.

Trends in the popularity of baby names and dog breeds can help understand evolutionary change

Maverick was first used as a baby name after a television show called "Maverick" aired in the 1950s, but its popularity rose meteorically in 1986 with the release of the movie "Top Gun." Today, it is even used for baby girls.
