Microneedles and ultra-sensitive, single-molecule measurements allow for the monitoring of protein biomarkers in responses to a combination immunotherapy against melanoma.

A new study is the first to demonstrate the ability for gene therapy to repair neural connections for those with the rare genetic brain disorder known as Hurler syndrome

The widely-used anticoagulant heparin can have potentially fatal side effects, so researchers have developed a new DNA-based drug to target blood clots.

The ability to utilize a single alternative food source is all it takes for diarrhoea causing Salmonella bacteria to bloom when a gut is already colonized by a closely related strain. This coexistence enables the exchange of antibiotic resistance.

A new sensor has been developed that can measure intracellular forces and mechanical strains, bringing new insights to the mechanics behind cancer.

MIT researchers model and map how neurons across the tiny brain of a C. elegans worm encode its behaviors, revealing many new insights about the robustness and flexibility of its nervous system.

It has been suspected for some time that viral infections contribute to the genesis and development of neurodegenerative diseases. Laboratory studies now suggest a mechanism that does not require infection by external pathogens.

E-cigarette usage nudged people toward quitting smoking – even people who had entered the trial saying they had no intention of quitting.

The electronic circuits in space probes need to be able to withstand exposure to radiation and huge temperature ranges. A research team is investigating whether gallium oxide could provide the answer.
