The folding state of the proteins in live cells often reflect the cell’s general health. Now scientists have developed a molecular probe that senses the state of the proteome—the entire set of the proteins—by measuring the polarity of the protein environment in live cells.

Researchers used post-mortem genetic testing to find the underlying cause of multiple sudden deaths in young people and sudden cardiac arrests in two large Amish families.

Researchers have created the first lab-dish models of the segmentation clock using stem cells derived from adult human tissue. The achievements not only provide the first evidence that the segmentation clock ticks in humans but also provide the first in vitro systems enabling the study of very early spine development in humans.

Research teams at the Karolinska Institutet and Tampere University have developed a method based on artificial intelligence (AI) for the diagnosis and grading of prostate cancer.

Scientists have developed a technique for fabricating tiny strands of collagen called fibrils, to enable further research into the eye’s repair process.

Researchers have identified synergistic cellular pathways for longevity that amplify lifespan fivefold in C. elegans, a nematode worm used as a model in aging research.

A Melbourne research team has reproduced and visualised the earliest developmental steps in human immune cell production in the laboratory and are now set to advance our understanding of childhood diseases like leukemia and autoimmune conditions.

Scientists have identified a molecular mechanism that could reverse the genetic defect responsible for Friedreich’s ataxia, a neurodegenerative disease.

Scientists have successfully determined the number and type of newly formed neurons in zebrafish.

Scientists report that they have identified missing links in the tomato's evolution from a wild blueberry-sized fruit in South America to the larger modern tomato of today.
