Scientists have uncovered close-up details of a vital molecule involved in the mix and match of genetic information within cells. This new information could be used to target proteins of this family to combat cancer's diversity and evolution.

Scientists have directly observed and recorded in animal cells a pathway called branching microtubule nucleation, a mechanism in cell division that had been imaged in cellular extracts and plant cells but not directly observed in animal cells.

Researchers have found evidence that B cells might play an important role in immunotherapy for melanoma. Currently, immunotherapy is primarily focused on T cells, but the results suggest that B cells could also provide an interesting research avenue.

In a patient-based study, researchers have found evidence to suggest postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) could be an autoimmune disease.

The latest analytical techniques available to scientists are being used to confirm the validity of historical artifacts and claims in some cases, and suggest a need for reconsideration in others.

Antibiotics, which save countless lives, change the composition and metabolism of the gut microbiome, which can lead to harmful infections and other life-threatening imbalances in the microbiome. But a study in mice showed that diet can mitigate or exacerbate these changes.

Scientists have presented a novel concept describing the complex microbial interactions that lead to disease in plants, animals and humans. The "pathobiome" concept could be applied to enhance production of many species, such as shrimp, a major aquaculture product globally.

Pregnant women who are exposed to higher air pollution levels during their second pregnancy, compared to their first one, may be at greater risk of preterm birth.

Scientist report that they have leveraged the principles behind radiative sky cooling, when moisture condenses on surfaces overnight, to develop an innovative way to produce renewable energy at night.

Researchers have created a more efficient method to produce the building blocks needed for cancer treatment drugs and antibiotics.
