New research details a novel strategy for how the body clears out dead cells during stress, revealing unexpected roles for well-known stress-response genes.

A new portable device developed by Rutgers University researchers can detect genetic mutations linked to hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis in just 10 minutes. The device provides a rapid and accessible diagnostic tool for genetic diseases.

UConn researchers have demonstrated that a novel protein-based nanoparticle can make mRNA vaccines more effective in tackling a troublesome pathogen in chickens.

Researchers have developed a toothbrush-shaped ultrasound transducer that can be used to create ultrasound images of a patient's teeth and gums. The technology demonstrates a less invasive approach for assessing gum disease.

Researchers at UC San Diego discovered that itaconate, a metabolite known for immune roles in animals, is produced in plants. It helps stimulate growth and supports plant processes such as metabolism and stress response.

Researchers have created a new aluminum-scandium alloy that is 5x more resistant to hydrogen embrittlement and 40% stronger than past alloys – creating an ideal material for the hydrogen economy.

Researchers have identified how cells pattern themselves to allocate space for organelle growth as conditions change.

Supplementation with a vitamin B3 derivative significantly improved cardiovascular health, reduced skin ulcer area and slowed kidney function decline in patients with Werner syndrome, a clinical trial reports.

Researchers have developed new "electron shower" technique which can produce even high-quality thin films at relatively low temperatures – a first for the field.

Researchers bring new understanding to how unfoldases and deubiquitinating enzymes coordinate to regulate protein degradation, and how this may influence neurodegenerative diseases and cancer.
