The discovery of molecular signatures of the incurable eye disease, age-related macular degeneration, could improve diagnosis and treatment.

An intricate "postal system" within our cells – complete with "postal clerks" – ensures that RNA gets where it needs to, when it needs to get there.

A new diagnostic method could help identify one of the deadliest types of interstitial lung disease sooner, allowing for faster treatment and improved patient outcomes.

In two new research papers, scientists have identified a link between recent cases of acute hepatitis in children and adeno-associated virus 2 (AAV2). The studies suggest a co-infection with AAV2 and another virus, such as adenovirus, may be the cause of the increase in cases.

A gene has been identified that, when activated by physical activity, promotes muscle strength. This discovery could impact muscle atrophy disease treatment, livestock and meat production and the management of healthy aging.

Researchers have discovered key human genomic signatures that could help explain why COVID-19 is severe in some people and mild in others.

The mechanism by which fungi destroy grapevine plants has been identified, pointing toward a potential solution for the massive losses in wine grapes.

A single chemical is key to controlling when hair follicle cells divide, and when they die.

Transcriptome sequencing and next-generation sequencing have been combined in a new workflow to complete functional annotations of insect genomes.

New findings indicate that lymphatic capillaries act as a signaling hub that communicates with stem cells in the intestine to coordinate their behavior.
