Michigan State University researchers have identified how ovarian cancer cells become resistant to chemotherapy and discovered a protein that, when blocked, can restore the drug's effectiveness.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life because of its many proven benefits, including protection against infections and support for healthy long-term development. However, perceptions that breastfed infants sleep less or require more frequent feeding than formula-fed infants remain common among parents and caregivers.

Starting one's sex life and having children at a young age can run in the family. But can pregnancy have beneficial health effects, and do the partner's genes contribute to them? "We are just beginning to understand how pregnancy affects health later in life," says Associate Professor Taru Tukiainen.

The environment experienced by young zebrafish influences both the shape and electrical activity of the neurons in the eye, which affects subsequent behavior.

Most of the tasks that humans complete daily entail carefully coordinating movements and tracking progress made toward a desired goal. Past studies have highlighted the role of the basal ganglia (BG), a set of interconnected structures deep within the brain, in the selection, control and initiation of voluntary movements.

Women with Parkinson's disease may be more vulnerable to Alzheimer's-related changes in the brain than men, according to new research presented at the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) Congress 2026.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) can have a substantial impact on many aspects of life beyond physical health, with 51% of people reporting that the disease affects their social life and 48% reporting that it affects their work, according to new research presented at the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) Congress 2026.

A simple bedside eye test may help predict recovery of consciousness in patients with severe brain injuries, according to new research presented at the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) Congress 2026.

Melatonin reduced infection-related inflammation in human fetal membranes in an ex vivo model. The study suggests that this effect works partly through melatonin receptors and by suppressing the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway.

Researchers screened over 5,000 compounds and successfully pinpointed 70 existing drugs, including unexpected beta-lactam antibiotics, that effectively suppress Puumala orthohantavirus infection in human cells. This milestone drug-repurposing study provides an immediate, fast-tracked pipeline for developing the first approved treatments against life-threatening hantavirus diseases.
