Researchers have developed a new test to more easily diagnose medulloblastoma, the most common malignant childhood brain tumor.

Proteins bind to one another through a complex mix of chemical interactions. What if some proteins bind due to their shapes, a much simpler process?

Researchers are exploring the use of a unique breath test for the rapid screening of patients for COVID-19. Results from the initial study in patients found the breath test is highly accurate in identifying COVID-19 infections in critically ill patients.

Scientists have taken a closer look at how mitochondria are maintained in nondividing cells, such as neurons, with the ultimate goal of developing a better understanding of how to prevent or treat age-related diseases.

Researchers have created chemical compounds that can neutralize several variants of SARS-CoV-2 and stop infection of cultured human cells.

Researchers at MIT and Harvard University have designed a way to selectively turn on gene therapies in target cells, including human cells. Their technology can detect specific messenger RNA sequences in cells, and that detection then triggers production of a specific protein from a transgene, or artificial gene.

In a new study, an international team of researchers describe how energy expenditure and heat production are regulated in obesity through a previously unknown cellular pathway.

Researchers have analyzed bright red paint found on a high-status, ancient Peruvian skeleton and mask. In addition to a red pigment, they found it contains human blood and bird egg proteins.

A research team has comprehensively profiled the associations between the gut microbiome and Systemic lupus erythematosus, an autoimmune disease in which the tissues of the body are targeted, causing widespread inflammation.

Scientists have discovered specific genetic biomarkers that can show who is infected with COVID-19, and can offer insights into how severe the disease might be.
