Scientists at Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are working with the state government on an initiative to educate parents and the public as a whole about the effect of alcohol on adolescent brains.
Duke researchers have developed mathematical models to predict the growth trajectory of cancerous tumors.
Discoveries made by Duke researchers may help to explain how B-cells respond after infected by Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), a member of the herpes virus family. The recent study—led by Micah Luftig, Karyn McFadden and Rigel Kishton—found that when running short of the supply of nucleotides and other cell-building materials, a large population of EBV-infected B-cells stop dividing and arrest, or end the cell cycle, after they hit their first period of rapid growth.
NASA has awarded a Duke professor a three-year, $1 million grant to develop an early warning system for malaria in Peru.
Duke scientists have helped make it easier to detect cancer cells by using a probe that makes the cells more visible.
Discoveries made by Duke researchers may help explain a developmental disease called microcephaly.
According to a recent study produced by Duke economists, the value of homes sharply declines when fracking takes place in neighborhoods.
Duke researchers’ study on Duchenne muscular dystrophy represents the latest advance in the CRISPR gene editing technology that is revolutionizing science and its approach to treating diseases. In the study published Dec.
Humans evolved to have shorter but deeper sleep than our closest animal relatives, research by Duke scientists suggests.
