Findings suggest a molecule found predominantly in the liver plays a key role in fat metabolism, and could provide a new treatment approach for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Researchers have created tools for tracking the navigational strategies of mice, which could be combined with other approaches to explore the neural processes behind selecting these strategies.
Researchers have constructed the first comprehensive fine-grained functional maps of infant brain development from thousands of MRI scans, providing a new tool for studying neuroanatomy and neurodevelopmental disorders.
With support from the COAR Notify Initiative, partners eLife and PREreview will strengthen connections between preprint review and curation services for authors, journals and the wider scientific community.
Researchers have developed a way to simultaneously measure different characteristics of circulating tumour DNA, to detect and localise multiple cancer types at an early stage.
Scientists have developed a tool called Geno-DT to create a digital replica of an individual's heart, which could inform the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
A study measuring the impact of close contact on SARS-CoV-2 virus transmission within South African households suggests that being in proximity to someone with the virus may not influence the likelihood of becoming infected.
A scorpionfish protein effectively kills antibiotic-resistant bacteria from patients with cystic fibrosis, escaping an immune response that renders the human version of the protein ineffective.
Findings in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS) reveal evidence of a gradient of inflammatory gene expression from the brain’s barrier to the grey matter.
