Micro-computed tomography correlates with endpoint histology and was able to detect pre-malignant tumours in mice bearing lung lesions.

A team of researchers from Penn State and the University of Washington re-engineered a fluorescent compound and developed a method to simultaneously light up two different proteins as they misfold and aggregate inside a living cell

The number of calories a person eats directly influences the performance of different cells. A group of researchers from the University of São Paulo (USP) has shown that low-calorie meals have a protective effect against some diseases.

For some of us, they carry the bright blue of our grandfather's eyes. For others they result in the characteristic cleft chin or the familial tendency toward color blindness. In some families, the genetic mutations handed down from generation to generation aren't as benign. And for one family in particular, the mutation results in early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

Researchers have used computational methods to identify nearly 2000 uncultured gut bacterial species.

A novel role has been identified for a signaling molecule that was once considered a dispensable player. This discovery could inform fields of research as diverse as cancer, autoimmunity, and in-utero development.

Researchers report that positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with 18F-fluorofuranylnorprogesterone (18F-FFNP) has been found to successfully measure changes in progesterone receptor levels resulting from a short-course estrogen treatment, also known as an estradiol challenge.

Scientists have discovered a critical part of the body's immune system with potentially major implications for the treatment of some of the most devastating diseases affecting humans.

Researchers studying the genetic origins of neurodevelopmental disorders have picked apart the pathways that underlie an incredibly rare congenital syndrome, a finding which the authors hope can be applied to related conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

National Eye Institute scientists led a collaborative study and zeroed in on genes associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss and blindness among people age 65 and older.
