A newly discovered altar buried near the center of the ancient Maya city of Tikal is providing fresh insight into the 1,600-year-old tensions between Tikal and the central Mexican capital of Teotihuacan. Just steps from the center of Tikal, a 2,400-year-old Maya city in present-day Guatemala, a team of international researchers, including scholars from Brown […]

The discovery broadens the known spectrum of this rare disorder, emphasizing the critical role of collaboration with patient advocates. A newly discovered subtype of Castleman disease promises to improve diagnosis and treatment for thousands of patients who have not fit neatly into existing classifications. Named Oligocentric Castleman Disease (OligoCD), this distinct clinical entity differs significantly […]

AI model reveals the structural secrets of misfolded proteins. A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool has provided critical insights into how disease-related proteins misfold into harmful structures, an important step forward in understanding neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The research, led by Mingchen Chen of Changping Laboratory and Peter Wolynes of Rice University, […]

Scientists have discovered that a rare immune cell type in the lungs, called NAMs, plays a crucial role in surviving COVID-19 by keeping the body’s immune response from turning dangerously destructive. Rather than simply battling the virus, these cells act like peacekeepers, reining in excessive inflammation that can lead to death. Mice with healthy NAMs […]
