Researchers have used an experimental model to explain how defects in the organization of healthy cells can alter how easily ovarian cancer cells invade tissue.

One in ten babies is born prematurely in the United States, but a blood test during a routine prenatal visit could reveal if a woman is at risk of a preterm delivery.

Breath instead of blood: researchers from the University of Basel have developed a new test method to measure treatment success in epilepsy patients. They hope that this will enable doctors to react more precisely when treating the disease.

A researcher has invented a version of an isotope-separating device that can withstand extreme environments, including radiation and chemical solvents.

Researchers have used machine learning methods to characterize chemicals in furniture, plastic housewares and pesticides that activate fat-forming pathways.

Scientists have discovered that the drug masitinib may be effective in treating COVID-19. They also found that it could be effective against other types of coronaviruses, in addition to SARS-CoV-2, as well as picornaviruses.

A study by an international research group identified 15 novel biomarkers that are linked to late-onset dementias. These biomarkers are proteins, which predict cognitive decline and subsequent increased risk of dementia already 20 years before the disease onset.

Scientists have outlined a new paradigm to explain the activation of Type II receptors. These receptors play important roles in our body’s use of cholesterol and glucose, among other critical processes.

The Fusarium wilt is a fungus that attacks the banana plant and causes the plant to dry up and die. One of the most dangerous strains is the Tropical Race 4 (TR4) and it seriously threatens banana production globally. Scientists have explored disease-biocontrol agents of five Bacillus strains that display antibiotic ability against TR4.

Raging rivers in flood swirl up pollutants out of their sediments that stem from environmental pollution decades or centuries ago. Such harmful substances can not only cause ecological damage in the river, but can also deposit themselves on flooded areas and affect crops, grazing livestock and humans.
