An algal protein helped scientists reactivate a fear memory in mice, turning light into a tool for testing what specific brain cells do. Scientists who worked out how to control brain cells with light have won this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel were honored for their […]

Earlier cancer studies may need a second look after researchers found that a drug acts mainly on an unexpected target. An experimental cancer drug already being tested in patients appears to work mainly by blocking a different biological target from the one it was developed to inhibit. The finding emerged from brain cancer research that […]

SpaceX has delivered tiny brain models, 3D heart tissue, and artificial retina technology to the space station in a mission that could open new doors for medical research on Earth. SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft successfully arrived at the International Space Station on October 15, docking at 10:27 a.m. EDT with the space-facing port of the station’s […]

The Milky Way’s central black hole could lose mass by powering escaping particles, and new calculations suggest how astronomers might detect the process. The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way may be accelerating particles to energies far beyond anything achievable in Earth’s most powerful particle accelerators. A new theoretical study suggests […]

Researchers have found the trigger behind a powerful bacterial defense against viruses. Viruses that prey on bacteria could become an increasingly important tool for treating bacterial infections, particularly as antibiotic resistance makes some infections harder to control. These viruses, known as bacteriophages (phages), can infect and destroy harmful bacteria without damaging human cells. Using phages […]
