A study reveals that sperm motility improves after stress rather than during it. By examining extracellular vesicles, researchers found enhanced sperm performance post-stress, suggesting an evolutionary advantage.

Researchers at Notre Dame developed an automated biochip that can diagnose glioblastoma in under an hour by detecting active EGFRs on extracellular vesicles from blood samples.

Researchers found a new class of RNA in blood nanoparticles, potentially paving the way for less invasive cancer diagnosis. They used next-generation RNA sequencing and other innovative tools to develop a cost-effective liquid biopsy test.

Scientists have discovered a new evasion strategy used by the varicella zoster virus, enabling it to spread to tissues far from the original infection site.

This article explores how recent advances in nanoscale technology are helping researchers to obtain more data with less hands-on time, vastly increasing what they can study and discover about diseases.

According to a study, while both diets had equally positive effects on reducing insulin resistance markers, intermittent fasting allowed for stronger improvements in memory and executive function than a standard healthy diet.

Researchers have used small membrane bubbles – which our cells use to communicate – to deliver targeted cancer treatments to tumors in mouse models, demonstrating reduced tumor growth and extended survival in one model.

An estimated 40% of low-back pain cases are attributed to degeneration of the cushiony intervertebral discs that absorb shocks and provide flexibility to the spine.

Now, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine are exploring how to isolate the positive effects of Thiazolidinediones, which could help yield new treatments that don’t come with the old side effects.

Scientists have developed a coin-sized chip that can directly isolate blood plasma from a tube of blood in just 30 minutes, which is more convenient and user-friendly as compared to the current gold standard, multi-step centrifugation process.
