The value of publishing negative data

Scientific publishing has a bias against negative results and that hurts science, says Tim Fessenden, editor of Life Science Alliance, a publication of Rockefeller University Press. Here’s how journal editors can help.

Researchers identify gene that calms the mind and improves attention in mice

Study demonstrates that the Homer1 gene improves focus by reducing "noise" in the prefrontal cortex, with implications for the study of ADHD and other attention disorders.

Some mammals can hit pause on a pregnancy. Understanding how that happens could help us treat cancer.

New study reveals the molecular brake that lets embryonic stem cells enter suspended animation, while retaining the ability to develop normally—which could shed light on abnormal cell growth in humans.
