To uncover what drives sexual behavior in animals, researchers studied the brain activity of male mice throughout the series of actions involved in sex leading up to ejaculation.

By revealing for the first time what happens in the brain when an animal makes a mistake, Johns Hopkins University researchers are shedding light on the holy grail of neuroscience:…

A team at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) led by Dr. Andrés Hidalgo has discovered a specialized population of neutrophils in the skin that produce extracellular matrix, helping…

Campylobacter infections are the most common foodborne illnesses in the U.S., sickening an estimated 1.5 million people each year.

A research led by Sergio P. Acebrón, Researcher Ikerbasque at the UPV/EHU, develops a key tool to visualize the immune response to abnormal DNA, opening new avenues for the treatment…
