New device to measure brain pH with increased spatial and temporal accuracy
Although a number of techniques are able to track changes in pH in the brain, precise measurements have not previously been possible. Now, however, researchers in Japan have developed a novel method for examining brain pH that may lead to new information about the role of pH in brain signaling.

Scientists may have found a way to prevent coronavirus spread
Just like any other virus, the coronavirus needs a host to survive. Viruses enter the cells of the human body to cause disease by attaching to a specific receptor site on the host cell membrane. To do this, they attach to proteins in the capsid through glycoproteins found in the envelope of the virus.

Study shows how series of ‘clutches’ in the motor cortex help our brains initiate movement
For decades, scientists have wondered why specific cells in the brain that control movement fire when people simply plan or imagine making a movement, or observe someone else making a movement – but do not actually move themselves.

Gut bacteria can boost effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy, mice study suggests
Could the response to cancer immunotherapy depend on bacteria that originate in the gut and travel to the tumor?

TB bacteria produce fatty acid that triggers a pain-response cough to spread the disease
Tuberculosis is distinguished primarily by the persistent cough that serves to spread the disease. Stopping whatever triggers that cough could greatly reduce the transmission of the disease, which annually kills more than 1.3 million people worldwide.
