New research reveals an essential step in scientists' quest to create targeted, more eco-friendly fungicides that protect food crops. Scientists found that plants use extracellular vesicles to launch RNA molecules at fungal invaders, suppressing the genes that make the fungi dangerous.

Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory have studied genotype-phenotype relationships in iPSCs using data from approximately one thousand donors.

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers and their colleagues have teased out the intricate biological steps leading to heart cell death during exercise.

Scientists think that in order to track SARS-CoV-2 variants faster, a more sustainable collaboration framework is needed in public health decision-making.

Two scientists at the CECAD Cluster of Excellence in Aging Research have developed a method that can determine an organism’s biological age with unprecedented precision. Researchers expect new insights into how the environment, nutrition, and therapies influence the aging process.

In research published today in eLife, a team led by scientists at the University of Cambridge and Wellcome Sanger Institute used a combination of genome sequencing and detailed epidemiological information to examine the impact of COVID-19 on care homes and to look at how the virus spreads in these settings.

A new study shows that at the beginning of an immune response, sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P), a molecule known to mobilize immune cells into the bloodstream, rapidly shifts position into the lymph nodes.

The liver has the ability to regenerate, even if 70% of its mass is removed. Researchers have found that It also keeps up its metabolic and toxin-removing work during regeneration, thanks to a subset of cells that expand their workload while the rest focus on multiplication.

A new study by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital adds to the body of work exploring blood group and COVID-19 susceptibility and severity.

Up until now it was assumed that only mitochondria can take over the task of providing energy in cells. But scientists have now discovered that this is not the case. An energy-providing bacterial endosymbiont has been found that enables its unicellular eukaryotic host to breathe nitrate.
