When two people work on a shared task, they process information alike, a new study revealed.

Simon Fraser University Researchers are using an advanced brain imaging method called MEG to understand why Parkinson's drug levodopa doesn't work equally well for everyone.

Experts have urged people to create inclusive, period-positive spaces where women and girls can live, learn, and work without fear.

Researchers used visual threat manipulation in the virtual reality environment and thermal stimulation to investigate how the brain perceives pain. They found that the brain perceives pain more strongly when the perceived pain is out of alignment with reality. In particular, pain was amplified when unexpected events occurred.

Laboratory experiments with cancer cells reveal two ways in which tumors evade drugs designed to starve and kill them, a new study shows. While chemotherapy successfully treats tumours and extends patients' lives, it is known that they do not work for everyone for long, since cancer cells rewire the mechanism by which they transform fuel into energy (metabolism) in order to avoid the treatments' effects. Many of these medications are so-called antimetabolics, which disrupt cell processes necessary for tumour growth and survival.

Researchers in Michael Sigal's lab at the Max Delbruck Center and Charite - Universitatsmedizin Berlin have discovered the significance of the p53 gene in ulcerative colitis. The work, published in Science Advances, proposes a potential new therapeutic target for preventing illness progression to cancer.

T cells are commonly referred to be "assassins" or "killers" because they can plan and execute missions to hunt down bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells throughout the body. As powerful as T cells may be, current research has revealed that once they enter the environment of a solid tumour, they lose the energy required to fight the malignancy.

A new qualitative study focuses on the negative interpersonal and psychological repercussions of 'yo-yo dieting,' or weight cycling. The work emphasises the dangers of yo-yo dieting and how difficult it is for people to escape the pattern

Workaholics' moods are often worse than others, even while they are engaged in what they are most enthusiastic about: their work. Workaholism is similar to other types of addictions such as gambling and alcoholism.
