Researchers have found that transposable elements play an important role in regulating genetic expression; these findings may have implications in advancing the understanding of genetic evolution.

Chemists have reported a new method for separation of methionine sulfoxide diastereomers that opens up new opportunities for studying their roles in biological processes.

New research on how bacteria exchange genes that provide drug resistance could inform strategies to control the spread of antibiotic resistance.

Patients with Alzheimer’s disease are often prescribed drugs for other conditions – including diabetes or high blood pressure – at the same doses as those without dementia. That practice might need to be reexamined in the wake of new preclinical studies.

Last year was one of the worst years on record for the Greenland ice sheet, which shrunk by hundreds of billions of tons. That mind-boggling ice loss wasn’t caused by warm temperatures alone; exceptional atmospheric circulation patterns contributed in a major way to the ice sheet’s rapid loss of mass.

The largest and most comprehensive analysis to date of the link between aspirin and digestive tract cancers has found reductions in the risk of these cancers –between 22% and 38%.

A team of scientists have demonstrated a new technique for imaging proteins in 3-D with nanoscale resolution.

A new study has found that a diet including high consumption of vegetables before conception may lower the risk of premature birth.

Researchers have been exploring how gut bacteria, especially Bifidobacteria, work and could be used as a treatment for celiac disease.

Researchers have examined the pathophysiology of diabetes and obesity and have discovered that it might intersect with COVID-19 biology. The team also found key shared pathways and mechanisms linked to the development and treatment of Type 2 diabetes.
