Scientists from prestigious universities and large research groups are significantly more likely to have their research published in general-interest, top-tier scientific journals. Meanwhile, authors based in China and those studying politics, economics, gender or other social is

So you have finally found the partner of your dreams—but no matter how hard you try, no children have come along. Could science offer new answers to mate choice and infertility? For several years, researchers at the University of Eastern Finland have been studying human reproduct

A revolutionary scanning technique has revealed that lithium MRI is a powerful tool for studying how the drug interacts with the brain and could offer more personalized treatment for bipolar disorder.

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 studying the impact of cocaine in mice have found that just one exposure to the drug can create changes in brain cells that persist for at least two weeks. Their findings were presented at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) Forum 2026.

Though researchers have been studying the animal deworming drug ivermectin for decades, there is no evidence that it's a safe or effective way to treat cancer in people.

A team of researchers from VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center, the VCU School of Dentistry and the University of Pennsylvania recently published a study in Nature Communications examining why some oral inflammatory diseases progress much more rapidly than others.

The Blood and Tissue Bank is studying how to therapeutically manufacture and use a type of nanoparticles released by the body's cells to communicate with one another, in one of the most promising fields of research for the therapies of the future. New medicines and advanced thera

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have identified small nuclear fragments known as micronuclei while studying neurons in aged mice. They demonstrated that microglia—the brain's resident immune cells—take up these micronuclei, leading to changes in microglial morphology and

For decades, researchers studying myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) have focused on the disease's underlying genetic cause: a mutation that produces a toxic form of RNA, disrupting the normal processing of thousands of genetic messages inside cells. While scientists have known this
