New research has shown a new type of inhibitor drug could prevent microvascular diabetic complications, such as diabetic eye and kidney disease. The University of Bristol-led research is published in Cardiovascular Diabetology.

They may be tiny, but fruit flies have given scientists new insight into the genetic basis for rapid evolution of male external genitalia driven by sexual selection.

Scientists investigated in mice how spreading tumor cells behave at the site of metastasis: Some tumor cells immediately start to form metastases. Others leave the blood vessel and may then enter a long period of dormancy.

Researchers recently developed highly realistic simulations of the proteins on sperm and egg cells coupling together before they fuse. These findings enabled the research team to solve several mysteries of fertilisation at once.

Results from a Phase 3 clinical trial show that the vaccine is safe and effective for those aged 2–59 regardless of whether they have previously been infected with dengue.

Scientists have developed a new optimization for laser absorption spectroscopy that side-steps previous issues with cross-sensitivity.

Fourteen different types of PFAS have been found in soils at family skiing spots in the Austrian Alps, at levels far higher than in areas not normally used for skiing.

By growing the vegetables in soilless nutrient solutions, chard, arugula, radishes and peas can all be infused with or sapped of essential elements, say researchers from the University of Bari Aldo Moro, Italy.

Medical researchers and chemical engineers have developed a new nanoparticle-infused wearable patch that can provide continuous monitoring of tumors under the skin.

Researchers have shown that a biophysical characteristic called viscoelasticity could be used to screen for liver cancer in people with type 2 diabetes.
