Researchers have discovered a factor that explains the spread of breast cancer cells to the bones.

Scientists have created edible tags with fluorescent silk proteins, which could be placed directly on pills or in a liquid medicine to differentiate the genuine product from fakes.

Mechanical engineers have subjected Oreo cookies to rigorous materials tests to get to the center of why the cookie’s cream sticks to just one wafer when twisted apart.

A novel therapy that combines laser ablation with immunostimulation is being trialed to treat metastasis in pancreatic cancer patients.

Scientists found that when the plastic products are exposed to hot water, they release trillions of nanoparticles per liter into the water.

Scientists have observed never-before-seen details of the human androgen receptor, the protein inside of cells that responds to male-typical hormones like testosterone. Using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) the team was able to identify unique features of the receptor that could provide clues to how androgen signaling goes awry in prostate cancer.

Researchers have shown that a combination therapy could delay the onset of age-related excessive muscle loss.

Amyloid fibrils in the brains of people with a form of frontotemporal lobar degeneration, or FTLD, contain an unexpected protein, say researchers at UCLA.

In addition to memory problems and other cognitive symptoms, most people with Alzheimer’s disease also suffer from mental health issues. It has long been unclear whether these occur because of tissue changes in the brain, or whether they represent psychological reactions to cognitive symptoms. A new study provides insight.

Researchers at the Mayo clinic have reported that neurofilament light is a biomarker for frontotemporal dementia, potentially allowing for quicker diagnoses.
