Haploinsufficient genes show how losing one gene copy can affect brain development, increasing risk for neurodevelopmental disorders and behaviour changes.
Depression has affected humans for hundreds of years. Symptoms can include persistent feelings of sadness, sleep disturbances, anxiety, and a loss of interest in social activities. Science doesn’t yet fully understand the causes and effects, but here’s what we do know: the brain is a powerful organ, and it is capable of change. Made up of a wide network of connections, it relies on chemicals, electrical impulses, and billions of neurons. Let’s explore how brain science
Explore how Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) works, its role in hard-to-abate industries, and how geology helps trap CO₂ to combat climate change.
article discusses how plant synthetic biology is reshaping biofortification strategies, particularly through approaches such as heterologous pathway engineering and transporter-based redistribution
Discover how the SNAP29 gene guides cellular traffic, and how its mutation leads to CEDNIK syndrome, affecting brain, nerves, and skin.
Many times, individuals feel fearful or extremely worried about cancer testing. The regular tests and scans that patients living with any cancer diagnosis have to undergo, to monitor their condition, can make them feel anxious before, during, or after a scan or a follow-up test
We begin with things - particles, fields, forces - and then build laws and equations to explain how those things behave. This approach has been extraordinarily successful. It is how we arrived at quantum mechanics, general relativity, and the Standard Model.
While volcanic eruptions are often viewed as abrupt, destructive disasters, their airborne deposits leave behind indelible signatures across the globe. For Earth scientists and palaeoclimatologists, tephra serves as an essential tool to decode past climate variability,
Self-healing materials (SHMs) are substances that automatically repair damage, mimicking organic healing. These materials have a wide range of applications, including construction, biomedicine, transportation, and even textiles. SHMs can extend the longevity of manufactured goods and have numerous uses in medical healing (Crawford, 2024).
Modern healthcare is undergoing a silent revolution. Now to treat a disease in the healthcare system, there is no longer a need to wait for symptoms to appear.
Symptoms of anxiety disorders can interfere with daily life activities, such as performance at work, being in social gatherings, and relationships. In severe cases of anxiety, there might be a feeling of intense fear in common situations, a preference for isolation, or a refusal to leave their homes
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic biological process that occurs through four overlapping phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation. To repair tissue damage, the body works intensively, thereby significantly increasing cellular metabolic demands.
Drug repurposing is reshaping medicine. Discover how changing a drug's route of administration — not the molecule itself — can unlock new therapeutic potential.
In elite triathlon, the swim and bike segments are often viewed as the "decisive" moments. However, the data reveals a far more lopsided reality. According to García-González et al. (2026), running is the ultimate "great separator.
Injury is an inherent risk of sport participation. Whether at elite or recreational level, athletes are exposed to physical loads that challenge tissue capacity and recovery.
Too big, it hits your throat. Too small, you exhale it. The sweet spot delivers drugs exactly where they're needed.
Learn how data privacy affects daily technology use, the risks of oversharing personal information, and practical ways to stay protected online.
How does one egg form? Inside the fruit fly ovary, discover how cells organize, migrate, and cooperate to turn an egg chamber into one egg—step by step
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic disorder in which the heart muscle becomes thicker and stiffer, a condition called hypertrophy. (1) The thickened heart muscle makes it harder for the heart to work properly. Many individuals with HCM do not realize that they have it.
The dark fantasy adventure “Alice in Wonderland” has gained widespread appreciation among audiences. However, the Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AWS), a brain-related condition, is not something anyone would ever love to experience or witness.
