Analyzing epigenetic and transcriptional regulation in structural cells, researchers found widespread activity of immune genes, suggesting that structural cells are deeply involved in the body’s response to pathogens.

A new study suggests that the common asthma drug called salbutamol may offer potential as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Extensive analytical in vitro experiments show that salbutamol is effective at reducing the accumulation of insoluble fibres of the tau protein – which is found in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease.

The first underwater Aboriginal archaeological sites have been discovered off the coast of northwest Australia, dating back thousands of years ago when the current seabed was dry land.

Researchers have uncovered new insights into the impact of stochasticity in gene expression, offering new evolutionary clues into organismal design principles in the face of physical constraints.

Researchers found that immune cells called macrophages, which are typically found in prostate cancer tumors to help promote growth, can be rewired to attack the disease using therapeutics.

The cultivation of insects and microalgae are up-and-coming sectors to meet protein demands for humans and animals alike. A research team investigated whether these alternative protein sources alter typical meat quality.

Scientists have identified how inflammatory alterations in tumors caused by chemotherapy treatment trigger blood vessel anomalies and thus drug-resistance, resulting in poor prognosis of cancer patients.

Scientists used a combination of advanced microscopy and chemical detection techniques to uncover the structural makeup of human tooth enamel at unprecedented atomic resolution.

Researchers have discovered a novel pathology that occurs in several human neurodegenerative diseases, including Huntington’s disease, and could be used to improve their diagnosis and treatment.

Scientists have uncovered the genetic basis of aromatase deficiency – a rare metabolic disorder – using next-generation sequencing, paving the way towards precision medicine.
