New study uses live imaging to understand a critical step in early embryonic development—how genes and molecules control forces to orchestrate the emergence of form in the developing embryo.

Researchers have developed an artificial enzymatic pathway for synthesizing isoprenoids, or terpenes, in E. coli. This shorter, more efficient, cost-effective and customizable pathway transforms E. coli into a factory that can produce terpenes for use in everything from cancer drugs to biofuels.

Many wild coffee species are threatened with extinction: what might this mean for the future of coffee farming?

Researchers suggests that the role of yeast, the world's most basic eukaryotic unicellular organism, may pave the way for the development of novel, more effective therapies for the treatment of metabolic disorders.

Anxiety and depression are surprisingly common among young children. But it can be hard to detect these conditions, known as “internalizing disorders,” because the symptoms are so inward-facing that parents, teachers and doctors often fail to notice them. Now, researchers have developed a tool that could help screen children for internalizing disorders to catch them early enough to be treated.

New AI developed at the University of Surrey could identify and help reduce one of the top causes of hospitalisation for people living with dementia - urinary tract infections (UTI).

Breast cancer survivors reported improvements in depression, pain, anxiety and sleep after self-administered acupressure.

Researchers have made a major discovery about how “DNA binding proteins” latch onto the human genome at particular places to turn genes on or off.

By combining deep learning algorithms and statistical methods, researchers have identified, in the genome of Asiatic individuals, the footprint of a new hominid who cross bred with its ancestors tens of thousands of years ago.

Researchers have found another, possibly more accurate way to classify burn severity to determine the best course of treatment: analyzing proteins in blister fluid.
