Genetic profiling of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors have uncovered potential therapeutic targets.

Herbicide-resistant weeds threaten crop productivity and food security. To avoid weeds evolving resistance, farmers often mix different herbicides, or apply them in cycle. But these strategies may be futile, suggests a study.

Researchers have successfully programmed nanorobots to shrink tumors by cutting off their blood supply.

Researchers have used a range of analytical techniques to reveal a chemical that can reverse the limitation to the number of branches that plants make. These findings could lead to improved crop production.

Engineered AAV strain efficiently enters the brain to deliver its therapeutic payload.

Examining RNA from 700 brain tissue samples, researchers have identified a similar molecular pattern that connects various psychiatric disorders.

A study has shown that DNA inflates cells, a finding which may improve our understanding of the origins of cellular life.

Neuroscientists have uncovered a cellular pathway that allows specific synapses to become stronger during memory formation. The findings provide the first glimpse of the molecular mechanism by which long-term memories are encoded in a region of the hippocampus called CA3.

These findings could impact everything from the way assays are conducted in the lab to the instructions patients are given on how often and when to take their medicine.

Scientists, breeders, farmers and conservation groups must continue to work in close collaboration to prepare for the potential re-emergence of a forgotten crop pathogen, a new study advises today. Work has already started following the discovery of a single wheat plant infected with stem rust - the first confirmed case of the plant disease in the UK in over 60 years.
