Weill Cornell researchers uncovered how free radicals from astrocyte mitochondria can fuel dementia. Using new compounds that target these radicals at their source, they slowed brain inflammation and neuronal damage in mice. The findings reveal a ...

A Northwestern team transformed a common chemotherapy drug into a powerful, targeted cancer therapy using spherical nucleic acids. The redesign dramatically boosted drug absorption and cancer-killing power while avoiding side effects. This innovation ...

Virginia Tech researchers have shown that memory loss in aging may be reversible. Using CRISPR tools, they corrected molecular disruptions in the hippocampus and amygdala, restoring memory in older rats. Another experiment revived a silenced memory . ...

Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique "connectivity fingerprint" tied to its role in cognition, from language to memory. The strongest links were found in ...

A new copper-magnesium-iron catalyst transforms CO2 into CO at low temperatures with record-breaking efficiency and stability. The discovery paves the way for affordable, scalable production of carbon-neutral synthetic fuels.

Researchers discovered fossil evidence showing that spionid worms, parasites of modern oysters, were already infecting bivalves 480 million years ago. High-resolution scans revealed their distinctive question mark-shaped burrows. The finding ...

Scientists discovered 6-million-year-old ice in Antarctica, offering the oldest direct record of Earth's ancient atmosphere and climate. The finding reveals a dramatic cooling trend and promises insights into greenhouse gas changes over millions of . ...

Researchers using new simulations suggest that the Milky Way's past collisions may have reshaped its dark matter core. This distorted structure could naturally explain the puzzling gamma-ray glow long thought to come from pulsars. The findings revive ...

Cockroach infestations don't just bring creepy crawlers, they fill homes with allergens and bacterial toxins that can trigger asthma and allergies. NC State researchers found that larger infestations meant higher toxin levels, especially from female ...

Researchers have, for the first time, estimated how quickly E. coli bacteria can spread between people -- and one strain moves as fast as swine flu. Using genomic data from the UK and Norway, scientists modeled bacterial transmission rates and ...
