Researchers have investigated how the behavior of an individual wheat plant under stress influences the performance of the crop community.

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer types, with 2.3 million women diagnosed with breast cancer worldwide in 2020, and a new study has uncovered process of mutations that lead to some breast cancers.

Researchers were able to reduce the growth of cisplatin-resistant tumours in female mice by decreasing the activity of a gene called superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1).

By comparing the beneficial and harmful fungal Ct strains, researchers found that activation of a single fungal secondary metabolism gene cluster determined the negative impact of the fungus on the host plant.

In a newly published paper in Nature Communications, scientists profile the mucus of Cornu aspersum and detail the composition of three unique types of secretions.

Sex hormones drive differences in male and female kidneys, making male kidneys more vulnerable to disease. New research has illustrated how lowering testosterone can improve the resilience of male kidneys.

The rotating shoulders and extending elbows that allow humans to reach for a high shelf or toss a ball with friends may have first evolved as a natural braking system for our primate ancestors who simply needed to get out of trees without dying.

A research group has proposed a microbial platform for lignocellulose bio-refinery. It can efficiently synthesize acetyl-CoA derivatives

Scientists have discovered two new genes that cause head and neck cancer patients to be resistant to chemotherapy, and that silencing either gene can make cancer cells previously unresponsive to chemotherapy subsequently respond to it.

Researchers have reported a modular, CRISPR-free base editing system, which they call CyDENT, to achieve effective base editing in the nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplast genomes of plant and human cells.
