New research into the mechanism of the placebo effect sheds light on the brain circuitry involved in pain relief. The study, conducted by scientists at the University of North Carolina (UNC), Stanford ...

The research team first used network toxicology and molecular docking to predict nicotine’s most likely neurotoxic targets, identifying six core proteins. They then exposed zebrafish larvae—a model ...

Using optogenetics techniques, scientists from Max Planck Florida Institute of Neuroscience identified a new pathway for forming long-term memories in the brain. Their findings suggest that long-term ...

AI, omics, and systems biology can now help scientists design targeted drugs for cardiovascular disease pathways once thought "untreatable." A new article published in Frontiers in Science says these ...

A new computational tool helps researchers map molecular interactions, revealing the pathways associated with disease. Understanding how molecules interact inside our cells is key to uncovering how ...

Triterpenes, a diverse family of plant-derived molecules, are increasingly recognized for their potential in medicine, food, and sustainable industry. These compounds display a remarkable range of ...

Genetic studies now identify millions of variants across human populations, yet most disease-associated signals fall outside protein-coding regions. This ...

EMBL-EBI scientists and collaborators at Heidelberg University have developed CORNETO, a new computational tool that uses machine learning to gain meaningful insights from complex biological data.

Since the advent of the Human Genome Project, scientists have expanded efforts to map complete biological datasets that encompass entire molecular families, such as DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites ...

Parkinson’s disease may begin reshaping the body’s chemistry years before the first tremor or stiffness appears. A growing ...
