Researchers have now modified the chemical structure of naturally occurring peptides to develop antimicrobial molecules that bind to novel targets in the bacteria’s metabolism.

Scientists at the North Carolina State University found that a chemical compound produced through the digestion of a common artificial sweetener causes damage to DNA.

Researchers add another powerful tool to their “molecular editing” kit for crafting pharmaceuticals and other valuable compounds, enabling chemists to add new elements to organic molecules at locations that were previously out of reach.

A brightly colored microcrystal that loses its color over time depending on temperature could be used to identify whether a vial of medicine has gotten too warm.

Scientists have discovered a novel approach that improves the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor cancer treatment and minimizes the associated side effects.

The genetic variants that cause a rare and inflammatory skin condition have been identified, alongside a potential treatment.

Studies have shown that sleep apnea is related to an increased risk of dementia.

Researchers have discovered a drug combination that could dramatically improve the life expectancy of children living with brain cancer.

A team has designed a strategy to fight obesity and diabetes in mice through ex vivo gene therapy, which consists of implanting cells that have been manipulated and transformed in order to treat a disease.

Stem cells from the human stomach can be converted into cells that secrete insulin in response to rising blood sugar levels, offering a promising approach to treating diabetes, according to a preclinical study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.
