We are excited to launch three parallel searches for our curiosity-driven Laboratories.

Obtaining novel antibodies against specific protein targets is a widely important yet experimentally laborious process. Meanwhile, computational methods for antibody design have been limited by low su...

The findings, gleaned from the most comprehensive map yet of brain activity during decision-making in mice, show that the process is even more distributed than previously thought.

A new study shows an association between at least 10 weeks of following a well-formulated ketogenic diet and a roughly 70% decrease in depression symptoms among a small group of college students.

Credit: CC0 Public Domain A new study shows an association between at least 10 weeks of following a well-formulated ketogenic diet and a roughly 70% decrease in depression symptoms among a small group of college students. Beyond the reduction in self-reported and clinician-rated depression, the students' global well-being increased nearly three-fold and their performance improved on several cognitive tasks. All but one participant also lost weight.

In a groundbreaking pilot study that delves into the intersection of nutrition and mental health, researchers have put the ketogenic diet—a high-fat, low-carbohydrate nutritional regimen—under the microscope as a potential adjunct therapy for college students diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD). Published in Translational Psychiatry in 2025, this innovative research brings new light to the complex and often elusive mechanisms of depression, suggesting that biochemical alterations induced by diet could hold therapeutic promise for one of the most prevalent and debilitating psychiatric conditions worldwide.
