In a pioneering achievement, a research team led by experts at Cincinnati Children's has developed the world's first human mini-brain that incorporates a fully functional blood-brain barrier (BBB).

The human genome is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, the biological blueprints that make humans … well, human. But it turns out that some of our DNA — about 8% — are the remnants of ancient viruses ...

Remnants of ancient viral pandemics in the form of viral DNA sequences embedded in our genomes are still active in healthy people, according to new research my colleagues and I recently published.
