Distinct properties of glutamate-dopamine, nonglutamate-dopamine, and glutamate-only ventral tegmental area neurons Combined, our analyses designated 126 genes as FIRST genes. As anticipated, FIRST ...

Argunşah et al. investigate the mechanisms underlying the differential response dynamics of barrel vs septa domains in shaping the responses to single vs multiple whiskers. Based on the observation of ...

The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has announced the teams for the THRIVE (Treating Hereditary Rare diseases ...

Researchers have developed a way to program human cells to perform calculations and make autonomous decisions, similar to how computer chips work. In a new study published in Nature Communications, Ph ...

For years, the promise of genetic testing has been clear: Identify people at elevated risk for cancer and intervene before the disease develops or when it's most treatable. Yet millions of Americans ...

Collaboration combines Profluent's frontier AI platform with Lilly's leading capabilities in genetic medicines AI-designed recombinases aim to unlock kilobase-scale DNA editing capabilities across ...

A new study reveals all five fundamental nucleobases – the molecular “letters” of life – have been detected in samples from the asteroid Ryugu. Asteroid particles offer a glimpse into the chemical ...

Early in the Covid-19 pandemic, the governor of New Jersey made an unusual admission: He’d run out of COBOL developers. The state’s unemployment insurance systems were written in the 60-year-old ...

Scientists have uncovered a powerful genetic switch that helps some of the body’s most important immune cells grow up properly and keep our organs healthy. The switch, called MafB, guides immature ...

TUCSON, Ariz. — Investigators looking to track down Nancy Guthrie’s suspected kidnappers are turning to a relatively new technology that has been attributed to solving some of the most prolific ...

Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein paid for genetic testing in an apparent bid to harness his own genetic material for regenerative medicine – which is aimed at repairing the body by developing ...

A new study has uncovered new genetic rules that determine how CD8 “killer” T cells choose between becoming long-lasting, protective immune cells or slipping into exhausted, dysfunctional states.
