A new open-source software tool designed by a team at Scripps Research enables scientists to identify and quantify modified RNA molecules more easily than ever to speed up drug development.

Air-circulating green walls installed inside offices modified microbiota affecting employees’ skin health and enhanced the immune system’s regulation, a recent study found.

The protein NANOG activates cell pluripotency to generate stem cells, but its mechanism of doing so is not well known. Recent discoveries have revealed how aggregates of NANOG interact with chromatin to reshape the genomic landscape.

Researchers looked at colonic hydrogen sulfide — a toxic gas in the body that smells like rotten eggs — production in people in response to animal- and plant-based diet interventions.

According to calculations, the energy value of landfilled plastic waste in 2019 was enough to supply 5% of the power used by the country’s transportation sector.

How clean are the cooking oils we use in our homes or those in restaurants? Researchers have developed a straightforward and highly sensitive technology that detects bad cooking oils.

A genetic mapping study that links DNA variations to blood proteins could be used to identify risk factors for disease and could also offer insights into drug repurposing.

Scientists report that they have engineered artificial photosynthetic endosymbiosis between photosynthetic cyanobacteria and budding yeasts.

Bacteria alter their swimming patterns when they get into tight spaces—making a beeline to escape from confinement, a new study has revealed.

Scientists have shown that Australian native plants can significantly remediate PFAS pollutants through floating wetlands to create healthier environments for all.
