A new molecule has been discovered in the brain of animals, that acts as a 'thermometer' to feel others' presence.

News research has shown how bacteria produce chemicals dependant on the food that is ingested.

A team of researchers has identified two gene mutations found in aggressive lung adenocarcinomas.

Scientists report the first map of the molecular responses of human lung cells to infection by SARS-CoV-2. By combining bioengineered human alveolar cells with precise mass spectrometry technology, researchers have identified host proteins and pathways in lung cells whose levels change upon infection by the SARS-CoV-2, providing insights into disease pathology and new therapeutic targets to block COVID-19.

A broad-spectrum antibiotic called enoxacin has proved capable of boosting the metabolism and attenuating the weight gain induced by a fatty diet in tests with mice.

Researchers have demonstrated that molecules of fluorescent proteins act as antennas with optical properties. The newly described properties of these molecules could be harnessed for novel drug discovery and drug target research.

The UK government has announced that the COVID-19 vaccine BNT162b2 – developed by Pfizer and BioNTech – has been authorized for use. Here, we address some of the key questions you may have about this announcement.

A new study has established that the parasite that causes chagas disease can be influenced by azole drugs, depending on its own metabolic state.

Researchers have found a way to program stem cells to differentiate into a particular cell type, using gene regulatory networks.

An experimental drug called ISRIB has been shown to reverse age-related declines in memory and mental flexibility in mice.
