Researchers have long searched for genetic influences in schizophrenia, a neurodevelopmental disorder that disrupts brain activity producing hallucinations, delusions, and other cognitive disturbances. However, the disease's genetic mutations have been identified in only a small fraction few
Corals live symbiotically with a variety of microscopic algae that provide most of the energy corals require, and some algae can make coral more resilient to heat stress. In assessing one of the main reef builders in Hawai'i, Montipora capitata or rice coral, researchers found that the symbi
With over 2 million new cases each year, colon cancer is the third most prevalent disease in the world. The majority of patients receive their diagnosis while the tumour is still in the colon or rectum.
A recent study has found that membrane voltage being higher than in healthy cells it also fluctuates over time - with breast cancer cells behaving much like neurons.
Binge eating disorder is wired in the brain from an early age. Researchers revealed neurobiology of binge eating disorder and how it differs between the sexes.
Study revealed the causes behind the increase in obesity rates. And suggested that modern diets consist of highly processed and refined foods -- which are low in protein -- people are driven to consume more energy-dense foods until they satisfy their protein demand.
Study revealed why metal copper are required by human cells to perform essential biological functions. The conclusion drawn from studies demonstrating higher copper levels in tumor cells and blood serum from cancer patients is that cancer cells require more copper than healthy cells.
The international team of researchers led by Elena Goun, an associate professor of chemistry at MU, discovered high levels of NR could not only increase someone's risk of developing triple-negative breast cancer, but also could cause cancer to metastasize or spread to the brain.
A group, led by researchers from the University of Edinburgh, discovered that TLR2 helps control some of the body's defense mechanisms when cancerous mutations occur in cells.
Researchers at Princeton Engineering have found a way to turn your breakfast food into a new material that can cheaply remove salt and microplastics from seawater.
