"Bacterial vampirism" is a newly-discovered phenomenon where deadly bacteria seek out and feed on human blood.

In a new study, researchers have identified a novel mechanism potentially connected to the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. They found a fragment of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) disrupts communication between cellular compartments.

Researchers have uncovered how bacteriophages disarm antibiotic-resistant bacteria, opening doors to the possibility of new treatment methods.

Researchers have developed a new design concept for creating next-generation carbon-based quantum materials, in the form of a tiny magnetic nanographene with a unique butterfly-shape hosting highly correlated spins.

Recent findings that leaky blood vessels in the brain and heightened immune activity are key drivers of long COVID brain fog provide insights into possible targets for treatment.

A University of Michigan study has shown that traumatic experiences during childhood may get “under the skin” later in life, impairing the muscle function of people as they age.

Scientists have developed a new 3D hydrogel material that can adsorb – and degrade – large volumes of microplastic.

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign analyzed the effects of solvation and ion valency on metallopolymers, with implications for critical materials recovery and recycling, and environmental remediation.

University of New Mexico researchers found that those tiny particles – microplastics – are having a significant impact on our digestive pathways, making their way from the gut and into the tissues of the kidney, liver and brain.

A new approach could reveal critical insights into cellular communication at organelle contact sites.
