Researchers are mapping the genome of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, to better understand how the novel coronavirus behaves.

Scientists are discovering how pollutants are linked to neurodegenerative diseases like ALS, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

Researchers have made strides toward targeting cancer in a new way. Through a collaboration between institutions and various scientific disciplines, scientists found a new way to attack a previously undruggable tumor suppressor.

Two Michigan researchers make major inroads into the biology of brown fat and its implications for weight loss and obesity-related diseases

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.

Study: Commercially available antibodies used to investigate modification of key cancer braking mechanism aren’t fully reliable

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

Research behind a drug compound that causes complete remission of a leukemia subtype in mouse models has recently spurred a human clinical trial.

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.
