Researchers are moving towards identifying the genes that lead to aging.
A new study shows how interaction with humans make wildlife less alert and may cause undesirable traits to be passed down.
Scientists found that factors contributed to a less stressful end of life for terminally ill patients at home than in the hospital.
A person born in summer months tends to have better birth weight and time of puberty, say scientists.
Scientists find that fish can transport throughout their bodies with an efficient not seen in any other animal.
Most of us hate the rainy days but the Burmese snub-nosed monkey often spends rainy days with its head down between its knees because otherwise the water runs into its upturned nose and makes it sneeze. These monkeys live in Myanmar's remote and rugged Kachin state, and the hunters here say it's easy to track them down during a downpour thanks to their bouts of sneezing. Scientists have nicknamed the nasally negligible mammals "Snubby."
A global initiative called the Blue Brain Project—hosted at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL)—has been attempting to create a section of juvenile rat brain digitally. Scientists have created a virtual rat brain which is made up of 30,000 neurons, 55 layers of cells and 207 different neuron subtypes.
