Researchers have identified a backup mechanism of protein quality control which prevents the toxic effects of protein aggregation in specific tissues when normal methods of molecular monitoring fail.

Recently, scientists have begun leveraging next-generation sequencing and associated techniques, such as single-cell RNA sequencing, that researchers can use to study gene expression in hundreds of thousands of individual cells simultaneously.

Researchers have developed a "lab-on-a-drone" that can detect and analyze pollutants, such as hydrogen sulfide, while on the wing.

Although a simple molecule, nitric oxide is an important signal substance that helps to reduce blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels. Researchers now present a novel principle that challenges the previous hypothesis.

A new study has shown how planting hedges between roadsides and school playgrounds can reduce children's exposure to traffic-related particle pollution.

Ecologists have demonstrated that the genetic material that species shed into their environments can reveal not only the presence of the species but also a broad range of information about the genetics of whole populations.

New research suggests that owls in Texas have high rates of anticoagulant rodenticides (AR) in their systems. The article assesses the anthropogenic risks faced by owls in Texas, an important region for migratory and non-migratory owls.

Understanding the lipidome provides more details about human physiology, including aging, insulin resistance and viral infection.
