Glioblastomas are commonly diagnosed through a risky and invasive surgical biopsy. A team of researchers has developed a noninvasive diagnostic method that could replace the biopsy with a blood test.

More than 70% of microplastics found in samples from oceans and rivers could come from the scientists collecting them, data suggests.

An undergraduate student and her mentor have for the first time synthesized setigerumine I, a rare and potentially potent molecule drawn from poppies.

Experts have developed a unique method for retrieving high resolution images of fingermarks from curved objects like bullet casings that offers greater detail and accuracy than traditional forensic methods.

A neoantigen-specific transgenic immune cell therapy for malignant brain tumors has been successfully tested for the first time using an experimental model in mice.

Two nuclear proteins, called lamin A and lamin C, both help keep DNA organized, but new research reveals that they may impact disease development independently.

Researchers have uncovered 166 prognostic biomarkers through machine learning analysis of long non-coding RNAs.

In mammalian development, every cell in the early female embryo shuts down one of its two copies of the X chromosome. For years, the mechanics behind this inactivation have been murky, but scientists have taken a step towards understanding the process.

A new study shows that people who consumed an anti-inflammatory diet that includes more fruits, vegetables, beans and tea or coffee, had a lower risk of developing dementia later in life.

Neurons communicate with each other via electrical impulses, produced by ion channels that control the flow of ions. Neuroscientists have now shown that human neurons have a much smaller number of these channels in comparison to the neurons of other mammals.
