Research points to a common thread linking diverse neurodegenerative diseases

Take a cell-deep tour of a brain afflicted with Alzheimer's disease, and you will find minuscule clumps of protein that seem suspicious. Ever since the 1980s, when neuroscientists began identifying these protein tangles, researchers have discovered that other brain diseases have their own tangled-protein signatures.

Researchers find an epigenetic adaptation showing resistance to targeted therapy in T cell leukemia

Although gene mutations can result in drug resistance, scientists in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have found a vital, non-genetic version that could also boost resistance to targeted treatment in T cell leukemia, which is a kind of blood cell cancer.

Researchers find why SARS-CoV-2 does not spread easily from surfaces

Early in the pandemic, many people fastidiously disinfected surfaces because laboratory studies predicted that SARS-CoV-2 could be easily transmitted in this way.

Microbes hindering cancer therapy seem to play a bigger role than helpful ones

Melanoma patients receiving therapy that helps their immune system kill cancer cells respond to treatment differently depending on the types of microbes in their gut, and new research suggests the microorganisms hindering therapy have more influence than the beneficial ones.

Study provides first genetic evidence of demographic changes among hunter-gatherer populations

A new analysis of ancient human DNA demonstrates that people moved and chose their reproductive partners along complex social networks that stretched across large swathes of Africa between 80,000 and 20,000 years ago, according to a study co-led by Yale anthropologist Jessica Thompson.
