This brain circuit drives the urge to mate. Except when it doesn’t.
Scientists discovered an identical neural circuit that operates differently in male and female mice.
Mapping how nutrients move through the body to treat cancer
Kivanç Birsoy is uncovering the hidden metabolic pathways that cancer cells exploit. His work could also optimize strategies for using nutrition to improve human health.
Novel method dramatically improves cryo-EM’s imaging capabilities
Researchers have devised a way to visualize molecules that are very rare, very small, or hard to produce naturally—including some viruses.
Two Rockefeller researchers chosen for the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub New York Investigator Program 
Kivanç Birsoy and Ekaterina Vinogradova will head projects that aim to harness and bioengineer immune cells for the early detection, prevention, and treatment of disease.
Clinical trials show new antibody therapy offers long-lasting HIV control without daily medication
Results presented at Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections show that two broadly neutralizing antibodies can keep HIV suppressed for months.
New understanding of B cell mutation strategies could have implications for vaccines
New study demonstrates how high-affinity B cells "bank" their best traits instead of rolling the dice and risking deleterious mutations, with implications for better vaccine design.
How solving a hepatitis B paradox opened the door to new therapies
A collaboration between Rockefeller, MSK, and Weill Cornell answers a longstanding mystery about the basic biology of the hepatitis B virus, while also proposing a novel therapy.
Researchers uncover key insights into how the body protects against neuron damage
New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites.
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.
