Gliomas with mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase genes are the most common brain tumors diagnosed in younger adults. Now a team has devised a potentially promising strategy to target these tumors and improve treatment.

A team of scientists has designed a novel catalytic method that can generate useful chiral compounds. This new strategy could provide an effective synthetic way to design pharmaceutical products.

Many parts of the world are in the midst of a deadly pandemic of cholera, an extreme form of watery diarrhea. Scientists have discovered specific gut bacteria make some people resistant to it — a finding that could save lives.

Researchers have discovered a library of molecules with unique structural and chemical features, capable of inhibiting the SARS-CoV-2 polymerase.

Scientists have new evidence that overactive neutrophils may drive the life-threatening blood clots and inflammation that occur in some patients with COVID-19.

People with arthritis in long-term remission had a difference in cell function which could settle inflammation and “teach” nearby cells to repair the joint, a new study has found.

Researchers have found that inflammatory proteins produced during COVID-19 infection significantly alter the function of platelets, making them “hyperactive” and more prone to form dangerous and potentially deadly blood clots.

In new research from the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM), scientists have shown that bioengineered uteri supported fertilization, fetal development, and live birth with normal offspring in rabbits.

Powdered sugar is the special ingredient in a Rice University recipe for mimicking the body's intricate, branching blood vessels in lab-grown tissues.

A new study led by Aarhus University postdoc Jan Stupacher has shown that music provides a unique context for social bonding. The research, conducted at Aarhus's Center for Music in the Brain, is a timely reminder of how important social bonds are for our health and well-being.
