The ongoing war has damaged physical infrastructure, thousands of Ukrainian scientists have fled their country to seek safety abroad...

Scientists from MIT and IBM Research made a computer vision model more robust by training it to work like a part of the brain that humans and other primates rely on for object recognition.

Artificial intelligence can predict on- and off-target activity of CRISPR tools that target RNA instead of DNA, according to new research published in Nature Biotechnology.

Large gravitational waves have been found rippling through the background of space-time. "Weve opened a new window of observation on the universe," said one researcher.

Delivering drugs into the inner ear may "represent an important step towards using gene therapy to restore hearing in humans."

The guy whose naked skull is pale and shiny — save that discolored mole shaped like Cuba near his ear, which inexplicably bristles with hair — may harbor an antidote to baldness. Researchers at the Un...

The link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the body's 'second brain' is more apparent than ever before.

An international team of researchers has developed a new method to deliver drugs into the inner ear. The discovery was possible by harnessing the natural flow of fluids in the brain and employing a little understood backdoor into the cochlea.

Researchers have developed a new method to deliver drugs into the inner ear.  The discovery was possible by harnessing the natural flow of fluids in the brain and employing a little understood backdoor into the cochlea. When combined to deliver a gene therapy that repairs inner ear hair cells, the researchers were able to restore hearing in deaf mice.
