Researchers have designed a “catch and kill” air filter that can trap the virus responsible for COVID-19, killing it instantly.

An over-abundance of the protein PRC1, which is essential to cell division, is a telltale sign in many cancer types. Researchers now show that PRC1 acts as a “glue” during cell division, precisely controlling the speed at which two sets of DNA are separated as a cell divides.

Modeling by marine scientists has shown that the loss of seagrass meadows on the Australian coastline has contributed to a substantial increase in carbon dioxide emissions.

Scientists have discovered that they can halt the growth of pancreatic cancer cells by interfering with the way the cells store cholesterol.

Collective cell dynamics could define stem cell identity, number, and dynamics.

An efficient, robust method of examining the interactions between cells uses fluorescent tagging to simultaneously analyze multiple cell populations, speeding up a once tedious and limiting process.

A group of 239 multidisciplinary scientists from around the globe have united in an appeal to the medical community and relevant national and international bodies to recognize the potential for airborne spread of SARS-CoV-2. This could have important implications for the precautions needed to prevent the spread of COVID-19, especially for indoor environments.

A new study has identified benefits to mood and well-being associated with short, frequent walks near bodies of water.

A case study led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital has indicated that unresponsive patients with COVID-19 may have a better chance of recovery than expected.

A new study has explored the role that the brain's immune cells, microglia, have in helping synapses form. These cells chomp away at the matrix proteins blocking synapses' paths, making a space for neurons to find one another.
