Scientists have succeeded for the first time in producing a biotechnical reaction which uses gaseous CO2 as a raw material for the production of a chemical mass-produced product.

Cells that promote muscle reparation also activate a feed-forward pathway that promotes wasting and fibrosis.

A new drug discovery system allows scientists to specifically target members of an important family of enzymes, called phosphatases, which were previously considered mostly "undruggable".

Thinner retinas in the human eye are a clear sign a person is at significant and increased risk of future mental decline, a UCL-led study has concluded.

“Some changes can occur in a relatively short time while other changes require much more practice.”

FDA-approved diagnostic blood test reduces the use of unnecessary head CT scans in people with suspected TBI.

University of Queensland scientists have identified genes associated with fatty liver disease, a condition affecting 5.5 million Australians. The discovery offers potential to develop ways to treat the disease and halt its progression.

Researchs observed how nanoplastics, despite existing in low concentrations, caused damage to the DNA, cell membranes and produce oxidative stress in the most common Mediterranean mussel consumed by humans.

Many city drinking water systems add softening agents to prevent mineral buildup. However, new research shows these additives may amplify the risk of pathogen release into drinking water.

It doesn’t often happen that army generals switch sides in the middle of a war, but when cancer’s attack is underway, it may even cause a gene that acts as the body’s master defender to change allegiance. Researchers have discovered that the betrayal of this gene can occur in more ways than previously appreciated.
