Researchers have discovered that by interfering with certain molecular signals during healing it is possible to produce tissue indistinguishable from normal skin.

While users tout its effectiveness in pain relief, up until now there's been limited experimental human research on the actual effectiveness of cannabidiol (CBD). However, a new study led by researchers at Syracuse University sheds light on the ability of CBD to reduce pain along with the impact that the so-called placebo effect may have on pain outcomes.

Researchers have discovered that one of the most common immune cells in the human body, macrophages, play an important role in re-establishing and controlling blood flow, something that can be used to develop new drugs.

Researchers from the University of Oxford and their partners have today reported findings from a Phase 2b trial of a candidate malaria vaccine, which demonstrated an efficacy of 77% over 12-months of follow-up.

In the body, oxygen radicals can trigger oxidative stress, which is associated with the development of many chronic diseases such as cancer. In murine studies, scientists have now discovered how oxygen radicals, can also reduce the risk of cancer and mitigate damage to the hereditary molecule DNA.

Researchers have shown that tumor growth can be reduced using a therapeutic approach that tags cancer cells with different drug compounds.

Researchers have produced a new model for the activation of SHP2, an enzyme that can play a role in some cancers. This model could lead to the development of more targeted therapeutics.

For years scientists have attempted to balance the pain-relieving properties of opioids with their numerous negative adverse effects. Now, researchers may have devised a way to sidestep this challenge, by harnessing the body's own ability to block pain.

Additional results of a study show that the Covid-19 vaccine is exceedingly effective, with 96% of symptomatic cases and 95% of severe cases prevented.

Northwestern University synthetic biologists have discovered a new way to increase production yields of protein-based vaccines by five-fold, significantly broadening access to potentially lifesaving medicines.
