Functional scoliosis is a product of imbalanced muscles or posture, often due to uneven leg length. In contrast, structural scoliosis is a product of how the spine has grown. Understanding the ...

Healthy aging induces parallel changes in brain functional activity and structural morphology, yet the interplay between these changes remains unclear. Prof. Yuhui Du's team at the College of Computer ...

The spliceosome is a dynamic macromolecular machine responsible for the precise excision of introns from pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA), thereby enabling the accurate formation of mature mRNA. Comprised ...

AI is breaking the old school org chart. To stay ahead, we need to design 'cognitive friction' into our systems so humans ...

Brain volume and function are altered in individuals with opioid use disorder, a new Yale study finds. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI), researchers observed the ...

Co-first authors Xiao Chen, PhD, and Haolan Wang, PhD, (pictured) and corresponding author Chia-Hsueh Lee, PhD, St. Jude Department of Structural Biology provide structural and functional insight into ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

The thyroid cartilage surrounds the thyroid gland in the middle of the throat. Its primary function is to protect and support the vocal cords. It is one of the laryngeal cartilages, which make up the ...
