Researchers have developed a new strategy to enhance pharmaceutical production in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, which are commonly used to manufacture protein-based drugs for treating cancer, autoimmune diseases and much more.

A groundbreaking UK study has examined whether an additional blood test called procalcitonin (PCT) could safely shorten the time children spend on intravenous (IV) antibiotics in hospitals.

Researchers have uncovered how specialized cells surrounding small blood vessels, known as perivascular cells, contribute to blood vessel dysfunction in chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and fibrosis.

Targeting a metabolic pathway that only occurs in bacteria offers a new avenue for antibiotic design.

A collaborative team has developed a new method to program molecular self-assembly predictably. Researchers created versatile materials like "Malteser molecules," which could serve as highly specific sensors or drug delivery agents.

A "DNA origami" tool has helped researchers to control the structure and function of biological membranes.

Manufacturers increasingly but still infrequently follow FDA guidance that recommends testing pulse oximeters on participants with a range of skin pigmentations, according to a new study.

A study has demonstrated that biomarker testing in smokers and ex-smokers can reduce lung cancer deaths by 40%. This large-scale trial highlights how measurable biological indicators enable earlier detection of lung cancer, improving survival rates.

Researchers have discovered that MEcPP, a molecule plants produce during stress, prevents bacterial biofilm formation. Biofilms protect bacteria on surfaces like medical devices and pipes, making infections harder to treat.

A new tablet combining two drugs is safe and more effective in treating soil-transmitted worms.
