Researchers have discovered that a microscopic skeleton inside neurons does much more than hold cells together. It acts as a gatekeeper that controls what brain cells absorb and when they absorb it. When this protective structure weakens, neurons rapidly take in harmful proteins

Kudos to Venezuela's first responders and all the brave citizens still pulling survivors from under the rubble of the 774 buildings that collapsed in last Wednesday’s double earthquakes. Is the sudden pancaking of so many structures - structures built during the boom years of hig

The ICC has announced revamped structures for its two men's World Cup tournaments, including the creation of new 'Super Series' and 'Super 7' rounds at next year's 50-over tournament.

U.S. employees are highly motivated to improve their health but are limited by finances, time and work structure, according to a recent survey conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of the American Heart Association.

Fats and oils are essential to life. They provide energy, support the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, contribute to the structure of cell membranes, and give foods their flavor, texture and mouthfeel. Yet the way fats are produced, processed and consumed is changing. Food man

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

Researchers at UNSW Sydney have developed a fully synthetic soft robotic heart that reproduces the complex movements and internal structures of the human heart, opening the door to better treatments, safer medical devices and more personalized care.

Much like camera settings—filters, flashes and focus—affect what we notice in a final photo, the way scientists measure something can affect how we interpret and understand it. This is especially true when imaging things that we can't see on our own, such as activity in the human

A new study from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has found that a structured, midwife-led birth debrief can significantly strengthen women's emotional well-being after childbirth and can be built into routine maternity care.

Older adults who followed a structured, 2-year healthy lifestyle program improved their memory and thinking skills significantly more than those who received only general health advice, according to the Latin American Initiative for Lifestyle Intervention to Prevent Cognitive Dec

Mutations to the protein SPOP are widespread in cancer, yet many remain poorly understood. To address this gap, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists obtained structures of SPOP in both the presence and absence of these mutations. Their work captured the fine balance b

With the aid of physical forces—in this case, sound—it is possible to actively steer the formation of engineered tissue. For example, sound waves can be used to create functional vascular networks with blood vessel-like structures in vitro. Scientists at the Center for Molecular
