Two biomarkers – a 44-gene DNA Damage Response (DDIR) signature and stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs) – can serve as prognostic markers in people diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, according to a new study.

Researchers have developed the 'FrogPhone', a novel device which allows scientists to call up a frog survey site and monitor them in the wild. The FrogPhone is the world's first solar-powered remote survey device that relays environmental data to the observer via text messages, whilst conducting real-time remote acoustic surveys over the phone.

Researchers have discovered how a gene-repressing protein could help to predict survival outcomes in patients with a malignant form of bile duct cancer.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have adapted a technique that enlists the power of electrons to visualize a soft material's atomic structure while keeping it intact.

Scientists don’t need to know how you look to guess your age. Instead, they watch a kind of physiological clock: the levels of 373 proteins circulating in your blood. If the clock is off, you may find out important things about your health.

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered why a specific genetic mutation causes intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder in children.

The identification of a protein important for insulin synthesis may hold clues for understanding the pathogenesis of diabetes.

The reward pathway of the brain causes feelings of happiness but is also involved in behavioral disorders like schizophrenia and addiction. A breakthrough study by scientists in Japan has now identified the role of a protein called Npas4 in the reward pathway, mediated by the well-known proteins MAPK and CBP, opening doors to potential therapies for associated disorders.

Scientists have discovered that if the dynamic binding of chaperone proteins to the Parkinson protein α-synuclein is disturbed, it can lead to cell damage and the formation of aggregates typical for the disease.

A study has identified a genetic network involved in the unique evolutionary trajectory of the modern human face and prosociality not found in Neanderthals.
