Cleft lip and palate are the most common craniofacial birth defects in humans. Yet despite decades of research, it’s still not known what causes most cases or what can be done to prevent them.

Researchers have revealed critical patterns of fatty acid attachment to proteins in the model organism C. elegans, which could enhance our understanding of disease.

How, exactly, DMT alters brain function to produce positive effects observed in clinical trials is not yet clear, though a study from scientists at Imperial College London has shed some light.

Researchers have developed a conductive ink as a sustainable material for use in organic electronics.

Neuroscientists demonstrate how the brain improves its ability to distinguish between similar experiences, findings that could lead to treatments for Alzheimer’s disease and other memory disorders.

Researchers reported a new design strategy for realizing molecular-sized gears in crystals and the first example of controllable molecular gear shifting in a solid material. They developed a crystalline material that contains gear-like molecules.

Researchers from King’s College London (KCL) suggest that fertilized chicken eggs could provide a low-cost option for cancer imaging studies, potentially helping to resolve some ethical and economic issues.

A new luminescent sensor can detect "forever chemicals" in water in a faster, more cost-effective way than existing detectors.

Structural insights into a potent antimalarial drug candidate’s interaction with the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum have paved the way for drug-resistant malaria therapies, according to a new study.

14,000 years ago, woolly mammoths roamed Canada, Alaska and Siberia. Then they disappeared. Now, researchers are piecing together their story. And it's all thanks to one mammoth, her herd and a tusk.
