Scientists have demonstrated that a species of ants were able to differentiate healthy human cells from cancerous human cells by smell.

Skin cancer cells that spread to the brain depend on the Alzheimer's protein, amyloid beta, to survive. The secreted amyloid beta also reduces the immune response against the cancer cells.

A team led by scientists at the University of Birmingham has come a step closer to uncovering the purpose of a distinctive set of modifications found at the beginning of messenger RNA which have long remained a fundamental mystery in molecular biology.

It has been found that people with specific genetic traits and traumatic childhood experiences are more likely to suffer from adult obesity, as a new study links social health determinants, genetics and disease.

Salk Institute researchers have developed a new genomic technology to simultaneously analyze the DNA, RNA and chromatin—a combination of DNA and protein—from a single cell.

According to a study, long-lasting immune activity in the airways might be the cause of persistent breathlessness following COVID-19.

A medium-chain fatty acid found in energy drinks might one day help protect against heart attack injuries.

A single transcription factor, DLX2, has been shown to reprogram astrocyte brain cells into neural stem-like cells, potentially leading to a way of regenerating brain tissue following disease or injury.

Student researchers have discovered human microRNA genes not shared with any other primate species.

Scientists found clear evidence that a Nordic diet can lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels even without weight loss, pointing to the composition of dietary fats as a possible explanation for the diet’s positive effects.
