Immune cells located in the cardiac tissue protect the failing heart and could be targeted in immunomodulatory therapies, recent work suggests.

Researchers have identified a new way to convert ammonia to nitrogen gas through a process that could be a step toward ammonia replacing carbon-based fuels.

A new study shows how key features on the surface of HIV-infected cells help the disease evade detection by the immune system and shows how these features can be disabled.

A new study in mice has found that exposure to PFAS synergizes with dietary fat and escalates the carcinogenic risk in normal prostate cells while driving tumor progression in malignant cells.

Researchers investigated the mechanism by which dietary palmitic acid, found in palm oil, favors tumor expansion.

New research shows that humans had a significant role in the extinction of woolly mammoths in Eurasia, occurring thousands of years later than previously thought.

A research team has shown that close connections, "tight junctions", between cells play an important role in cell movement.

Which genes control the defining features that make us look as we do? Revisiting a three-decade-old McGinnis experiment has led to clues on the fundamental development of anatomical appearance.

Scientists have developed a suite of isotope-based tests that can be used for lead contamination origin identification in urban soils and assess the risk it poses to children who inhale or ingest contaminated dirt or dust.

By designing vaccines that activate immune memory cells, known as T cells, to attack infected cells expressing this part of the virus’s internal machinery, it may be possible to eliminate SARS-CoV-2 at the very outset, thereby helping stop its spread.
