Intriguing science discoveries of 2024
From decoding the mysteries of memory formation to revealing cancer’s metabolic, neurologic, and genetic tricks, here are some fascinating discoveries that came out of Rockefeller in 2024.
What ants can teach us about the neurobiology of social behavior
Daniel Kronauer’s research on an unusual ant species illuminates the biochemistry and genetics behind complex social behavior—and potentially offers clues to the evolution of our own social brains.
Study reveals how unexpected shifts in cell populations are revising our understanding of the aging process
A newly created atlas of 21 million cells could upend long-held assumptions about how we age and provide fresh directions for anti-aging therapies.
A new class of antivirals could help prevent future pandemics
Researchers discovered a vulnerability in viral enzymes that could lead to novel treatments for diseases as diverse as COVID and Ebola, while also minimizing side effects and reducing the odds of drug resistance.
Is metastasis a hereditary disorder?
Mounting evidence suggests that metastasis, the culprit in the vast majority of cancer deaths, is in part driven by genetic disposition. Physician-scientist Sohail Tavazoie discusses the newest research into this phenomenon, and what it may mean for breast cancer patients.
Researchers discover a genetic predisposition increasing the risk of breast cancer metastasis
Metastasis is responsible for 90 percent of cancer deaths. Researchers have found that the mutations driving it may stem from a commonly inherited variant of the PCSK9 gene.
Study explains why checkpoint inhibitors so adept at fighting cancer may also leave patients vulnerable to infections
New insights could fine-tune this immunotherapy to avoid a common side effect without sacrificing efficacy.
Newly discovered neurons change our understanding of how the brain handles hunger
A new cell type provides a missing piece of the neural network regulating appetite.
A new chemistry for CRISPR
It acts as a sort of molecular fumigator to battle phages and plasmids.
The decision to eat may come down to these three neurons
Manipulating a newly identified neural circuit can curb appetite—or spur massive overeating.
