Researchers have used a new type of nanoparticle to deliver RNA to the lungs in mice. These particles could offer an inhalable treatment for cystic fibrosis and other diseases of the lung in the future.

Researchers have discovered that a subset of T cells secrete acetylcholine, which helps to regulate blood pressure and inflammation.

Researchers have developed a platform that improves accuracy, throughput and stability in profiling the dynamic metabolic features of cells.

Shigella bacteria can infect humans but not mice. Now, a team from UConn Health explains why. Their findings may explain the multifariousness of a key weapon of our immune system.

Global breakthrough: for the first time in the world, researchers at Tel Aviv University recorded and analyzed sounds distinctly emitted by plants.

An interdisciplinary team of researchers propose that Italian Renaissance masters – artists such as Sandro Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci – added protein to their oil paintings to prevent wrinkling and issues with humidity. The study is published in Nature Communications.

Brains that are starved of amino acids during development are smaller and remain so throughout life, and also show neuropathological differences.

A natural bacterial system has been harnessed to develop a new approach to delivering proteins to human cells.

According to a study, the fast motor kinetics of prestin, a protein found in the inner ear, is essential for hearing high-frequency sounds.

Researchers have identified specific proteins and amino acids that could control bioenergy plants’ ability to identify beneficial microbes that can enhance plant growth and storage of carbon in soils.
