This past spring, a biotech company announced the first use of a new gene-editing technology in people to fix an errant gene that causes a severe immune disorder. In June, a baby born with a ...

A massive global genetics study is reshaping how we understand mental illness—and why diagnoses so often pile up. By analyzing genetic data from more than six million people, researchers uncovered ...

The authors do not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and have disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...

Operating room (OR) planning and scheduling is a highly complex combinatorial optimization problem that involves patient assignment, OR allocation, and surgical sequencing within a constrained ...

Parents may have more influence than they realize when it comes to shaping their children's behavior, especially for those at higher genetic risk for conduct problems, according to Rutgers Health-led ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

ABSTRACT: A hyperbolic model for the diffusion of proteins through the blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier revolutionized clinical neurochemistry thirty years ago. The regression curves were ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...

Abstract: Recent studies have been conducted actively on scheduling in a parcel delivery system using a truck and drones to deliver parcels more effectively. In logistics, it is necessary to provide ...
