Researchers found in mice that multiple nutrients and cancer cell characteristics work together to control the spread of ...

Members of a new class of antivirals are being tested in U.S. clinical trials, and one has gained approval in Japan, but how ...

The future of federally funded research at Harvard Medical School — supported by taxpayers and done in service to humanity — remains uncertain. Learn more. A new analysis led by researchers at Harvard ...

A protein called STUB1 weakens the cancer-killing power of immune T cells by blocking key signals they need to attack tumors. Disabling STUB1 in lab experiments strengthened T cells’ response to the ...

Top row: In a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, lithium deficiency (right) dramatically increased amyloid beta deposits in the brain compared with mice that had normal physiological levels of ...

A new study in mice describes how the brain rapidly and efficiently increases blood flow to active areas where oxygen and nutrients are needed most. The work shows that the brain relies on a ...

Harvard Medical School developmental biologist Olivier Pourquié is no stranger to scientific honors. He has received research prizes in four different countries and been elected to prestigious groups ...

Research in mice shows that inflammatory molecules influence mood and behavior by acting on specific brain regions. The findings help explain why some people experience lasting mood changes after ...

Study in mice offers insights into the brain circuitry underlying certain types of reward-based choices. Researchers identified distinct groups of brain cells activated when animals anticipate a ...

Love has been the source of ceaseless fascination since antiquity. Artists have tried to capture its beauty and darkness in books, paintings, and songs. Behavioral scientists have explored love as a ...

Ancient DNA locates the geographic origin of Proto-Indo-Europeans and Proto-Anatolians and describes their early migrations out of the Caucasus Lower Volga and North Pontic regions of present-day ...

Researchers profile the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells show how changes in the viral polymerase — a protein involved in viral ...
