Cooperating with your neighbors, especially if they are distant relatives, can be an effective evolutionary strategy, new research has found.

Next-generation PFAS compounds – PFECAs – designed as a "safe" replacement for PFAS have recently been shown to have toxic effects in mice.

A toxic protein called DUX4 has been identified as a potential cause of two very different rare genetic disorders.

A new study has used brain images from over 30,000 people to map genetic associations with structural differences in the white matter of the brain, with possible links to several heritable brain-related disorders.

Scientists have shown that regenerative therapy to restore impaired kidney function may soon be a possibility.

Scientists have visualized the interaction between two important proteins that are key players in Pseudomonas’s ability to make biofilms, which could offer a promising therapeutic target to help treat lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients.

A new genetic test can identify dogs at risk of a potentially deadly disorder resulting in excessive bleeding and bruising in the hours and days following surgical procedures.

Researchers have identified seven new species of funnel web spiders in caves in Israel, some of which are blind.

Bee researchers at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) headed by Professor Dr Martin Beye have identified a new gene in honeybees, which is responsible for the dimorphic eye differentiation between males and females of the species.

A group of researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC analyzed epithelial cells taken from the mouths of vapers, smokers, and people who had never vaped or smoked. They found that vapers and smokers had similar levels of DNA damage, more than twice the amount found in non-users.
