Researchers have identified a mutation in a common oncogene that may play an important role in colon cancer. Their findings suggest that this variant behaves differently from other common variants and may be selectively targeted in future therapies.

Despite the processing power of artificial intelligence systems, they remain far behind young children when it comes to acquiring language.

Researchers have identified the circuit of genes that control the regrowth and repair of hearts in zebrafish, offering clues as to how a human heart may one day be repaired after damage.

The scientists found that even with complete protection from human-caused threats like habitat loss, hunting and climate change, about 250 bird species could still die out.

Scientists have identified two proteins involved in regulating chromatin remodelling which could be promising therapeutic targets in tackling skin cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Researchers discovered that a redox-sensitive form of the protein HMGB1 circulates in the blood and spreads cellular senescence to distant tissues. This process contributes to age-related decline and could be targeted therapeutically.

Inspired by the natural soundproofing of owl feathers, researchers have developed a new two-layer aerogel to mitigate urban sound pollution.

A study has demonstrated the antimicrobial properties of honey produced by three species of native Australian stingless bees, highlighting its potential as a sustainable, natural agent for combating drug-resistant infections.

To be able to study ALS-linked neuroinflammation in the lab, researchers generated “spinal microtissues” containing motor neurons and immune cells from ALS patients' stem cells.

While researchers often warn that a lack of standardized protocols risks muddying the waters, the research shows that public involvement could be key to plugging the data gaps and that comparability rather than conformity is key.
