In a discovery that could potentially lead to new approaches to treating a group of neurodegenerative diseases known as tauopathies, researchers have figured out the connection between tau mutations and stress granules.

Scientists report that they have developed a gene therapy that was proven in mice to stimulate nerve regrowth across complete spinal cord injuries and guide nerves to reconnect to their natural targets below the injuries in order to restore motor function.

Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) are globally accepted first-line treatments for malaria, but resistance to ACTs has emerged in recent years. Scientists have now found that next-generation interventions can reduce the rate of treatment failure by at least 81%.

Global warming is likely to disturb the symbiotic relationships between trees and fungi, potentially harming forest resilience, reports a new study.

To make a gene-editing tool more precise and easier to control, Rice University engineers split it into two pieces that only come back together when a third small molecule is added.

Satellite data could be used to estimate and forecast crop area and yield, playing an important role in guiding policy decisions that enhance global food security.

Controlling infestations caused by root-damaging nematodes has long been a challenge in agriculture. Scientists have developed nanoparticles from plant viruses that can deliver pesticide molecules to previously unreachable soil depths.

Researchers have identified a novel drug target with the potential to overcome drug resistance and prevent tumor regrowth, opening the potential for new drug development.

According to a study, a dendritic cell vaccine administered before and after autologous stem cell transplant was safe, immunogenic and was associated with durable clinical responses in patients with high-risk multiple myeloma.

A novel method for water purification has been developed that is less energy-intensive than reverse osmosis, enabling it to be used in remote areas or disaster zones.
