Laboratory protocols that better replicate real-life conditions help to understand how to use platinum-based chemotherapy to treat the most common type of lung cancer.
Studying the proteins that change when mice develop hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease reveals distinct changes in the microglia cells that support the neurons, which correlate with both the accumulation and the structure of amyloid-β plaques.
Addressing small differences in factors such as laboratory temperature, which can affect mouse metabolism, may help speed up research on conditions like obesity.
When we read, the brain recognizes single letters as visual patterns, adds them up to create the pattern that forms a word, and then compares this to stored information to identify the word.
A new technique, that may one day allow more women experiencing infertility to have children who are genetically related to them, shows promise in a mouse study.
