Researchers have used computational design to combine the structures of three molecular fragments into a single chemical compound that was able to dock in a binding pocket on tubulin and disable it. This caused disruption to the cytoskeletal structure of cancer cells, leading to cell death.

A novel, laser-based 3D printing technique has been used to create a scaffold for tissue engineering and has been shown to successfully produce cartilage and bone tissue from stem cells.

Scientists have discovered a special type of cell that resides in salivary glands and is likely crucial for oral health.

Scientists have created a new method that enables stem cells to be converted back to their original, specialized form, but "rejuvenated".

Researchers have proposed a new method to form an electron lens that uses a light field instead of the electrostatic and magnetic fields employed in conventional electron lenses.

The mechanism by which mitochondria recognize and report stress has been revealed, offering a possible new approach for treating neurodegenerative diseases.

A new study identifies a reason why older adults are significantly more susceptible to infectious diseases than younger people, paving the way for new potential therapeutic targets to rejuvenate the immune system.

A research team has designed a virus that selectively infects cancer cells and causes the infected cells to release RNA-containing extracellular vesicles that blunt the antiviral response of surrounding cancer cells.

Progress in the development of a drug to treat metabolic syndrome has been furthered by identifying a receptor that controls appetite and body weight.

Research has revealed that the constant pattern of stretching and relaxing caused by breathing generates immune responses against invading viruses.
