Large differences in flower characteristics between wildflowers with different pollinators are achieved by a few key genetic differences, according to a new study.

When PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), a drug that prevents HIV infection, was first approved by the FDA in 2012, it was a medical breakthrough. A new study explores patient preference for the standard method and new options.

A team of researchers has uncovered a previously unknown compensatory mechanism found in liver disease. If Kupffer cells (KCs) become impaired by tissue scarring, immune cells originating in the bone marrow flow to the organ.

Researchers in Missouri have found high concentrations of microplastic in Cliff Cave, a cave system in Saint Louis County that has been closed off to visitors for the past 30 years. The extent of the microplastic contamination is detailed in two new research papers, published in Science of the Total Environment and Water Research.

A team of scientists have presented research findings that reveal a crucial role of biological particles, including pollen, spores, and bacteria, in the formation of ice within Arctic clouds.

Researchers have identified a way to tweak the immune system, transforming TB-susceptible macrophages into resilient ones to help fight the disease.

Demand for valuable metals needed in batteries is poised to grow over the coming decades in step with the growth of clean energy technologies, and the best place to source them may be by recycling spent batteries.

A protein scaffold that holds smaller proteins in place has enhanced cryo-EM, enabling the high-quality visualization of small molecules.

A human stomach microphysiological system has been created, which could lead to progress in understanding and treating gastrointestinal diseases, including stomach cancer.

Researchers found exposing cells to a small molecule drug improved their fitness during hematopoietic stem cell transplants, which could broaden access and improve outcomes for ex vivo gene therapy.
