Colorful candy sprinkles on chocolate drops have provided the inspiration to give pharmaceuticals a unique code to prevent fraudulent medications being given to consumers.

Researchers have identified five distinct subpopulations of cells within the retinal tissue, potentially enabling targeted treatments for degenerative eye diseases.

To generate more accurate predictions of disease risk, a research team has used data from more diverse populations to remove the current Eurocentric bias.

The molecules of life, DNA, replicate with astounding precision, yet this process is not immune to mistakes and can lead to mutations. Using sophisticated computer modelling, a team of physicists and chemists at the University of Surrey have shown that such errors in copying can arise due to the strange rules of the quantum world.

A new study has predicted that replacing 20% of beef with "microbial protein" – a market-ready meat substitute – could reduce annual deforestation and carbon dioxide emissions by half.

A deep learning model has been designed to predict drug–drug interactions based on drug-induced genetic changes, which can help predict adverse side effects from taking multiple drugs.

A new open-source software tool designed by a team at Scripps Research enables scientists to identify and quantify modified RNA molecules more easily than ever to speed up drug development.

Bacteria alter their swimming patterns when they get into tight spaces—making a beeline to escape from confinement, a new study has revealed.

Biomedical engineers have developed an artificial intelligence training strategy to capture images of mouse brain cells in action.

Scientists have used a nano-scale device, named an “optomemristor”, to interact with and emulate multi-factor biological computations of the mammalian brain.
