Scientists believe they may have found a way to reverse an aggressive, treatment-resistant type of breast cancer into a less dangerous kind that responds well to treatment.

Researchers have discovered a biomarker that could assist in the early identification of people at high risk of developing severe COVID-19.

Scientists have obtained stem cells from livestock that grow under chemically defined conditions, paving the way for manufacturing cell cultured meat and breeding enhanced livestock.

Researchers have found that a characteristic shift in bacterial community composition and function marks progression from a healthy mouth to periodontal disease.

A new study published in eLife demonstrates the therapeutic potential of nanobodies – miniature antibodies derived from llamas – against SARS-CoV-2.

To date, CRISPR enzymes have been used to edit the genomes of one type of cell at a time. Now, the group that invented the genome editing technology has found a way to add or modify genes within a community of many different species simultaneously, opening the door to what could be called “community editing.”

In what is believed to be the largest prospective study of its kind to date, researchers report that a rapid antigen detection test for SARS-CoV-2 proved more effective than expected when compared with virus detection rates using the established standard test, the polymerase chain reaction assay.

Switchable label proteins can change their state, for example to a signal that can be read out, or upon illumination with different colors of light. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich describe their latest work in this space.

A new study published in the Journal of Biological Rhythms demonstrates that antibody levels are higher when people receive the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in the afternoon versus the morning.

Researchers have identified the characteristics of more than 100 memory-sensitive neurons that play a central role in how memories are recalled in the brain.
