Potent antibodies neutralize HIV and could offer new therapy, study finds
Having HIV/AIDS is no longer a death sentence, but it’s still a lifelong illness that requires an expensive daily cocktail of drugs — and it means tolerating those drugs’ side effects and running the risk of resistance. Researchers at The Rockefeller University may have found something better:...

Neurotransmitters linked to mating behavior are shared by mammals and worms
When it comes to sex, animals of all shapes and sizes tend behave in predictable ways. There may be a chemical reason for that. New research from Rockefeller University has shown that chemicals in the brain — neuropeptides known as vasopressin and oxytocin — play a role in coordinating mating an...
