Research suggests that with exercise, we have a natural way to improve immune health. Recent studies have advanced our understanding of the molecular processes that underpin exercise immunology.

A recent discovery upends the rule that only bacteria can fix nitrogen from the atmosphere, as scientists describe an organelle within a eukaryotic cell that can fix nitrogen.

The lipids in some herbal teas have been identified in detail for the first time, preparing the ground for investigating their contribution to the health benefits of the teas.

New research has revealed how DNA gyrase resolves DNA entanglements – by getting lassoed by the supercoiled DNA.

Researchers at the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shanghai, China, have discovered how nutrient depletion is sensed by embryos growing in hungry mouse mums to induce diapause.

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.

Researchers have recently found a way to create more physiological connections between lab-grown "neural organoids," an experimental model tissue in which human stem cells are grown into three-dimensional developmental brain-mimicking structures.

A lung-targeted, druglike small molecule could stimulate the growth of lung stem cells, restoring damaged lung tissue.

A previously overlooked type of immune cell allows SARS-CoV-2 to proliferate, Stanford Medicine scientists have found. The discovery has important implications for preventing severe COVID-19.

Inflammation plays a major role in allergic diseases, affecting at least 17 million people in France, including 4 million asthmatics. One of the molecules that initiates this process in the respiratory tract has just been identified.
