Neural pathways reveal a push-pull system for coordinating goal-directed behavior in mice

Most of the tasks that humans complete daily entail carefully coordinating movements and tracking progress made toward a desired goal. Past studies have highlighted the role of the basal ganglia (BG), a set of interconnected structures deep within the brain, in the selection, con

Fish-inspired sensor tracks how human heart tissue responds to disease and treatment

Engineers have developed a new way to monitor how tiny lab-grown human heart tissues beat—by effectively "listening" to the ripples they create. The team has created a wireless, noninvasive sensing platform that can biomechanically measure how strongly the miniature heart tissues

Mouse model supports long-held belief that viruses can trigger Parkinson's disease

Scientists usually use animal models when studying Parkinson's disease because these models mimic the disease well. They are limited, however, because they require either gene modifications or the injection of toxicants, which may not accurately represent how the disease occurs i

Researchers develop robotic surgical cameras that mimic the human eye

What do laparoscopic surgery and robotic lunar construction have in common? Plenty, as it turns out, for Shuai Li, Ph.D., associate professor in the University of Florida's Department of Civil & Coastal Engineering.

Breast milk gives certain gut bacteria a head start

Breast milk helps shape the gut microbiota for longer than previously thought. Researchers from DTU and Rigshospitalet have discovered that sugars in breast milk, which are nondigestible by the infant—so-called human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs)—influence which bacteria thrive in

Newer insulin may reduce low blood sugar in youth with type 1 diabetes

A trial led by University of Pittsburgh researchers and published today in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology adds nuance to the question of whether older human insulins are as effective as insulin analogs in low-resource settings.

Repurposed epilepsy drug could be used to boost vaccine protection among elderly

A drug commonly used to treat epilepsy could be repurposed to significantly boost the response to vaccines in humans, helping protect those for whom the vaccine is less effective, such as older adults or immunocompromised people. A Cambridge-led team showed that the drug more tha

COVID-19 vaccine boosters may help protect against future animal coronaviruses, research s

COVID-19 vaccine boosters not only protect against SARS-CoV-2—the virus behind the most recent pandemic—but may also help protect against some future coronaviruses that risk spreading from animals to humans, Cambridge researchers have shown.
