By focusing on the biology of healthy nerve cells, new research finds repeats in a gene, which causes Fragile X Syndrome, regulates how and when proteins are made in neurons.

To study consciousness, Michigan Medicine researchers use anesthesia in an attempt to gain a better understanding of moment-to-moment changes in the brain.

Michigan researchers develop an ultra-precise mind controlled prosthetic.

COVID-19 can clinically manifest similarly to other respiratory illnesses and can also appear similar on imaging scans. Two radiologists have teamed up and found imaging anomalies that can serve as an alert to radiologists that COVID-19 may be present in

Rare Disease Day is celebrated across the globe to raise awareness about rare diseases and how they impact patients’ lives. Michigan Medicine is working to better understand the mechanisms behind these rare diseases.

Researchers have made a genetic breakthrough in mice that could lead to new, revolutionary treatment options for SCN8A-related encephalopathy seizure disorder in babies.

Animal-based neuroscience research on the parts of the brain involved in responding to food cues may inform understanding of human overeating and addiction

Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a form of abnormal healing typified by bone forming within muscle or soft tissue as the body heals from injury or surgery. Historically, there has been no treatment for HO, but new research suggests that could change.

Findings point to new clinical tool to assess--and perhaps treat—patients.

The director of U-M’s Center for Aging Research discusses their latest findings and research behind longevity.

A new study in mice finds an antiviral compound modeled after a banana protein is effective against several deadly viruses, including flu and coronaviruses.

A CALCR cell found in mice may stop feeding without subsequential nauseating effects as well as influence the long term intake of food.

New research suggests that when embryonic stem cells are exposed to certain proteins during development influences what kind of cells they will become.

In mouse models, the work uncovers a new potential target to improve immunotherapy approaches to the deadly disease.

Research suggests the possibility of a more general phenomenon, applicable to the growth of other primary cell types.
