A toxic protein called DUX4 has been identified as a potential cause of two very different rare genetic disorders.

Bioinformatic gene analyses have revealed that most human microproteins developed millions of years later in the evolutionary process than the larger proteins currently known to scientists.

By feeding T cells in the lab, researchers revealed a new metabolic pathway that could help make immunology more effective.

Scientists have shown that regenerative therapy to restore impaired kidney function may soon be a possibility.

Exercise and alternating fasting and feasting days have been shown to increase insulin sensitivity, decrease liver fat and decrease other disease markers in people with fatty liver disease.

Scientists have visualized the interaction between two important proteins that are key players in Pseudomonas’s ability to make biofilms, which could offer a promising therapeutic target to help treat lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients.

Researchers have identified a new "Swiss cheese-like" material that can safely store volatile gases including hydrogen and nitric oxide.

Researchers from the Karolinska Institute and the University of Copenhagen found that the timing of exercise may fine-tune fat metabolism in mice. The study is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS).

Tumor cells can alter their metabolism, and in doing so, dampen the body's anti-cancer immune response. A research team has identified a potential target for therapies in the protein key to this metabolic shift.

Scientists have developed a mouse model of mpox and used it to demonstrate clear differences in virulence among the major genetic groups of mpox virus.
