Despite intensive research efforts, there is no cure for COPD. Current therapies focus on relieving symptoms and reducing the progression of the disease. A recent study shows promising results for treating COPD.

In a small study of adults diagnosed with major depression, researchers report that two doses of psilocybin, administered with supportive psychotherapy, produced rapid and large reductions in depressive symptoms.

Finding just the right model to study human development has been a challenge for scientists over the last decade. Now, bioengineers at UCSD have homed in on an unusual candidate: teratomas.

Extremely small antibodies, known as nanobodies, have been shown to neutralize SARS-CoV-2. But they're extracted from llamas and camels, which is problematic for a number of reasons. Now, scientists have identified a synthetic form of a nanobody, known as a sybody, which shows affinity to SARS-CoV-2 and neutralizing capabilities.

Researchers at the University of Liverpool have unlocked new possibilities for the future development of sustainable, clean bioenergy.

Buffalo fly is a serious animal health and production challenge. The only obstacle in its path is a biological control project using the insect-infecting bacterium, Wolbachia.

Scientists describe unexpected, undesirable outcomes after editing genes in human embryos with CRISPR, a genomic editing system.

The University of California researchers have made a major advance in the use of genetic technologies to control the transmission of malaria parasites.

Researchers at the University of Utah Health have discovered that swelling may be important for protecting the brain.

On a daily basis, most of us are in close contact with advanced AI methods known as deep learning. Two students at the University of Copenhagen have developed a software carbon tracker to measure AI energy consumption.
