Scientists hoping to make bio-based manufacturing more renewable and carbon-neutral have developed a new workflow that combines CRISPR gene editing and computational models of microbial gene expression and enzyme activity.

Advanced electronics and DNA nanoballs are combined in a new test that enables the ultrasensitive detection of pathogens in the early stages of infection.

Scientists have isolated and sequenced more than a century-old RNA from an extinct Tasmanian tiger specimen that had been preserved in a museum.

It takes over the brains of ants, causing them to cling to the tops of blades of grass where they can be eaten by cattle and deer. The common liver fluke has an exceptional life cycle. Now, researchers know a bit more about the workings of this tiny parasite.

A new filtration process that aims to extend milk’s shelf life can result in a pasteurization-resistant Microbacterium passing into fluid milk if equipment isn’t properly cleaned early, food scientists have found.

Scientists have found a plant gene that drives the growth of root hairs, the tiny structures that help plants find water and nutrients in the soil.

Findings from a new confirmatory clinical trial have shown the potential for MDMA therapy in reducing PTSD symptoms, building upon previous studies by using a more diverse patient population.

According to a study, when a certain chemical is removed from the brain, males drink more and females drink less. But when the alcoholic drinks are sweetened, female consumption goes up.

Acne makes life miserable for around 800 million teenagers and adults worldwide. In a new study, researchers have shown how a new antibacterial compound encased in tiny, soft nanoparticles is effectively delivered to acne target sites.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) affects 10-15% of patients with breast cancer in the US and is notoriously difficult to treat. Researchers have now discovered a new method to drastically reduce tumor growth even wiping out the cancer completely in some experiments.
