A genetic mutation that disrupts how DNA relays messages to the rest of the cell has been linked to numerous blood cancers.

A team has uncovered how a key protein in the "immune escape" process is activated by tumor cells. They now intend to develop a drug that can intervene in this specific activation mechanism.

Scientists have attempted to improve methods for cryopreservation of rat spermatozoa, which usually provides notoriously poor results.

Recently, a group of bioengineers at the University of Pittsburgh discovered a case of goblet cell regeneration that is both easily accessible and happens incredibly fast on cells isolated from early developing frog embryos.

Researchers have discovered an internal mechanism which may protect human cells from oxidative damage, which could help in understanding age-associated problems.

Researchers have created a microfluidic device that measures how “sticky” tumor cells are, which could improve prognostic evaluation of patient cancer samples.

Scientists have developed a new strategy to protect honeybees from a deadly trend known as colony collapse – genetically engineered strains of bacteria.

Scientists from the U.S. and China have discovered, in unprecedented detail, how ovaries age in non-human primates. The findings reveal several genes that could be used as biomarkers and point to therapeutic targets for diagnosing and treating female infertility and age-associated ovarian diseases, such as ovarian cancer, in humans.

According to a new study, whilst adding carbon organic fertilizers to agricultural fields is usually advantageous, it may also interfere with the beneficial underground communication between legume plants and microorganisms.

The effects persisted nearly five years after the drug was administered.
