A new study has found that a marked proportion of psoriasis patients remain untreated.

Scientists have succeeded in synthesizing two complex products from a group which could be used in the development of new drugs.

Broadening diversity among participants in human genomics research will maximize the potential of the field, say members of an international genomics consortium.

A novel technique would allow organizations to non-destructively scan computer chips to ensure that they haven’t been altered and that they are manufactured to design specifications without error.

The ramifications of bacteria's ability to become resistant to antibiotics can be seen in hospitals, public places, our food supply, and our water. Now, researchers have demonstrated how we could improve upon the ability of nature's exquisitely selective collection of antimicrobial enzymes to attack bacteria in a way that's much less likely to cause bacterial resistance.

Neuroscientists have proved how different parts of the human brain work together to create and retrieve memories.

Researchers have come up with a long-sought after algorithm, called the inverse chirp z-transform (ICZT).

Scientists want to re-engineer stump skin to become resistant to rubbing and think that skin from the sole of the foot could be a viable alternative.

The discovery in the 1990s that a mutation in a single gene of an experimental worm could double its lifespan set off a stampede of research on the molecular biology of aging and triggered hopes that drug therapies or other interventions could be developed to extend healthy human lifespan. But as is often the case in science, the genetic regulation of aging is more complicated than it first appeared.

Pain is an incredibly complex condition. To better understand what pain-related changes may occur in the brain, a new study has identified receptors in the amygdala that could trigger an inhibitory, pain-relieving response.
