Using a new computational approach, researchers have discovered previously unknown genetic causes of primary lymphedema, thoracic aortic aneurysm disease and congenital deafness.

Researchers have created the first high-resolution map of the human immune response to P. falciparum, offering insight into what makes this parasite such a persistent pathogen.

Researchers have revealed the modulatory effect of the anti-inflammatory metabolite itaconate on T helper and T regulatory cells, which may lead to new therapeutic approaches to treating some autoimmune diseases.

Researchers have developed a new method to track the movement of proteins in a lifelike environment after their motion has been triggered by an external event.

A new study by scientists at the University of Alberta sheds light on how a moderate fever can be beneficial when illness strikes. The research – conducted in fish – is published in eLife.

Researchers have identified a possible genetic driver of uterine corpus endometrial cancer, the fourth deadliest cancer in women.

A study has characterized the factors that cause the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, to invest resources into reproduction – to maximize transmission to other hosts – or replication – to ensure survival within its current human host.

Scientists have revealed the secret behind an evolutionary marvel: a bacteriophage with an extremely long tail. This bacteriophage lives in inhospitable hot springs and preys on some of the toughest bacteria on the planet.

New research has found that high levels of caffeine in the blood may reduce a person’s risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, as well as the amount of body fat they carry.

The largest genetic study of endometriosis conducted to date has revealed new insights on key variants that increase disease risk. The research is published in Nature Genetics.
