A new antibiotic, synthesized at The Rockefeller University and derived from computer models of bacterial gene products, appears to neutralize even drug-resistant bacteria.

A study has found that changes in the activity of a gene called FMNL2 caused by cerebrovascular disease, prevent the efficient clearance of toxic proteins from the brain, leading to Alzheimer’s disease.

A nanoparticle vaccine that combines the spike protein and its stem subunit promotes a broader immune response that is sustained for at least four months, a new study shows.

Researchers have found that so-called “mutational signatures” – that reflect a collection of mutations found across the entire genome of a tumor – can predict the activity of various drugs applied to cancer cells from several tumor types.

A new study suggests that the low-frequency sounds fetuses can hear are possibly necessary for auditory development.

In a bit of “reverse engineering” research using brain tissues from five people who died with Alzheimer’s disease, researchers say they discovered that a special sugar molecule could play a key role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease.

Increased expression of the CCR5 gene in the brain is associated with poor memory linking, but the drug used to treat HIV infection has been shown to suppress CCR5 and improve memory linking in older mice.

The term biodiversity invites images of lush rainforests, dynamic estuaries, and other biomes where a kaleidoscope of species interact within their communities. Now a new study has proposed a theory of how biodiversity affects the amount of interspecies interaction in a community.

Researchers running the Com-COV program have launched a further study of COVID-19 vaccination schedules in young people aged 12 to 15.

Researchers have documented the formation of so-called trioxides, an extremely oxidizing chemical compound that likely affects human health and global climate, for the first time under atmospheric conditions.
