Scientists have for the first time characterized a protein involved in making a glycolipid compound found in the TB cell wall, which is critical for the disease-causing Mycobacterium to become infectious.

Existence of “silent engrams” suggests that existing models of memory formation should be revised.

In the largest study of its kind, five new malaria vaccine targets have been discovered by scientists at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and their collaborators.

Illnesses such as cancer and multiple sclerosis may also be associated with lipids. Disorders are difficult to assess due to the diversity of lipids. Scientists present a new tool for the analysis of lipids.

Researchers have successfully tested a new molecule capable of preventing the development of peripheral neuropathy induced by chemotherapy in cancer patients, especially in colon cancer cases, the third most common neoplasm in the world.

Scientists reveal the atomic-level structure of twin helicase enzymes loaded head to head, with the DNA double helix visible in the circular channel that runs though both helicases. The configuration, a part of the pre-replicative complex (pre-RC), has never been successfully imaged in this configuration before.

Researchers have discovered that a virus-like particle vaccine can prime the body's immune response and prevent the severe respiratory disease that results when patients given an early form of a vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are exposed to RSV, according to a study led by Georgia State University.

A team have used neural networks and machine learning to teach computers to decode previously inaccessible information from x-ray data, and then use that data to decipher 3D nanoscale structures.

Cumming School discovery of new mechanism in the gut microbiome has implications for inflammatory bowel disease.

Rice University lab’s devices clarify how dispersants modify asphaltene to keep pipes open.
