Researchers have identified a molecular mechanism that helps regulate the progression of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Downregulation of the protein FOXA1 regulates hypoxia, or lack of oxygen, to promote prostate cancer progression.

In a new study published in Science, researchers have used single-​nucleus sequencing (sNuc-Seq) to characterize the cell populations of the axolotl forebrain, an aquatic salamander that can regenerate brain tissue post-injury.

These days, dragons are keeping Game of Thrones fans on their toes. But they are also providing important insights into vertebrate brain evolution, as revealed by the work of scientists on the brain of the Australian bearded dragon Pogona vitticeps.

A team of scientists has designed a synthetic protein that quickly detects molecules of VX, a deadly nerve agent.

Researchers have discovered that chromatin around the site of DNA damage moves much faster to improve the accuracy of DNA repair.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood cancer. Now, researchers at the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have created a roadmap of the genetic mutations present in patients with ALL.

Scientists have discovered a previously unknown extinct ant species encased in a unique piece of amber from Ethiopia.

A recent article has called for a multiomics approach to regulating genetically engineered crops, to identify and safety test new characteristics.

Researchers have shown that inhibiting a metabolic enzyme, called glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase, selectively kills melanoma cells and stops tumor growth.

Researchers have discovered that modified insulin signaling pathways in ant queens of the species Harpagnathos saltator may be responsible for their astounding longevity and reproductive ability.
