Ebola Persistence Documented in Monkeys
Although the Ebola outbreak in West Africa that started in 2013 was declared over more than a year ago, the disease lingers on. Many Ebola

Rapid and simple assays to detect infectious agents are key to tracking emerging epidemics. Chotiwan et al. describe a loop-mediated amplification (LAMP) assay that detects
Cancer is notorious for relapsing after treatment. Such relapses are driven by tumor-initiating cells, a type of stem cell that gives rise to tumors. Damelin
A very focused function for lncRNAs The human genome generates many thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). A very small number of lncRNAs have been
Frequent sauna bathing can reduce the risk of dementia, according to a recent study carried out at the University of Eastern Finland. In a 20-year
At present, there are no disease-modifying treatments to stall the progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD). A drug in development to treat diabetes might provide a
Summary Points A recent high profile report estimates that, by 2050, 10 million people will die every year due to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) unless a
It has been 8 years since an astonishing observation persuaded many scientists that the misfolded protein implicated in Parkinson’s disease spreads from brain cell to

Over the next decade, researchers will compile a comprehensive and freely available map of the cells of the human body, complete with descriptions about their
The blood disorder, β-thalassaemia, is considered an attractive target for gene correction. Site-specific triplex formation has been shown to induce DNA repair and thereby catalyse
Scientists have for this first time reprogrammed murine embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into fully functional oocytes in the laboratory.
Sets of neurons in the brain that behave together—firing synchronously in response to sensory or motor stimuli—are thought to be functionally and physiologically connected. These
In mice, severely restricting caloric intake promotes the transformation of white fat into brown fat, which contains cells that burn energy faster, according to a
Scientists studying Zika are moving quickly to generate a vaccine against the mosquito-borne virus that continues to spread through South and Central America and is
Near Eastern genomes from Iran The genetic composition of populations in Europe changed during the Neolithic transition from hunting and gathering to farming. To better
Whether at school, in car accidents, on the sports field or the battlefield, mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a common part of our lives.
The malaria vaccine doesn’t provide lasting protection against the mosquito-borne disease, according to a study published yesterday (June 29) in NEJM: it delays infections by
Dying tumor cells release the phospholipid S1P, which stimulates proinflammatory responses in tumor-associated macrophages, including secretion of the protein lipocalin-2. Jung et al.discovered that in
Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes have discovered how the major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease causes memory impairment. A specific type of brain activity

Clusters of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) may play a larger role in cancer metastasis than previously thought. Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital have now shown
It’s practically dogma at the health food store: Substances called antioxidants, found in foods from blueberries to broccoli, are cancer’s nemesis, and the more you
