How the brain processes concepts is influenced by contextual information, such as what a person is seeing, suggests new study.

Macrophages that live in human airways respond differently to infections than macrophages that come from the blood.

A new computational approach helps find heat-stable molecules capable of fighting bacterial infections.

Analyzing the spatial patterns in which tumors accumulate mutations allows scientists to better understand tumor growth.

Neurodegenerative diseases caused by misfolded proteins have distinct characteristics that may contribute to their unique symptoms.

Tumor cells accumulate many mutations that do not aid tumor survival but may interfere with how their proteins work.

Scientists have developed an automated tool to study cell growth and division, including hard-to-study, free-floating blood cancer cells.

A single molecular signal enhances the complexity of human brain organoids, inducing the emergence of multiple distinct brain regions.
