Scientists have developed a novel human brain organoid model that generates all the major cell types of the cerebellum, a hindbrain region predominantly made up of two cell types necessary for movement, cognition, and emotion: granule cells and Purkinje neurons. This marks the first time that scientists have succeeded in growing Purkinje cells that possess …

Using state-of-the-art cell imaging and genome editing technology, scientists have begun to unravel how this collection of proteins performs its essential service. The discovery could eventually help researchers better understand and develop new treatments for diseases like cancer, diabetes and those that cause immune dysfunction. Using state-of-the-art cell imaging and genome editing technology, scientists have …

Because same-sex sexual behavior does not result in offspring, evolutionary biologists have long wondered how the genes associated with this behavior have persisted in the human genome, and whether they will remain in the future. A new study suggests that part of the explanation — specifically for male bisexuals — has to do with risk-taking …
A team of researchers has found that Paxlovid (Nirmatrelvir-ritonavir) did not reduce the risk of developing long COVID for vaccinated, non-hospitalized individuals during their first COVID-19 infection. They also found a higher proportion of individuals than previously reported with rebound symptoms and test-positivity after taking Paxlovid. A team of researchers has found that Paxlovid (Nirmatrelvir-ritonavir) …

Supernovae — stellar explosions as bright as an entire galaxy — have fascinated us since time immemorial. Yet, there are more hydrogen-poor supernovae than astrophysicists can explain. Now, scientists may have found the missing precursor star population. Supernovae — stellar explosions as bright as an entire galaxy — have fascinated us since time immemorial. Yet, …
