Developing new materials requires significant time and labor, but some chemists are now hopeful that artificial intelligence could one day shoulder much of this burden.

Researchers have discovered that sugars naturally found in breast milk can treat prenatal infections in human tissues and potentially prevent preterm births.

Researchers have identified a new mechanism that exposes some of the multitasking abilities embryos need to build a functional retina.

Researchers have created a functional “humanized” liver in living mice that will help scientists find human-specific mechanisms for regulating cholesterol levels and potentially treating chronic liver diseases.

Traditional diagnosis of malaria takes expertise and the workload is high. An international team of researchers investigated if diagnosis using a new system combining an automatic scanning microscope and AI is feasible in clinical settings.

Early diagnosis is likely to be essential in treating Alzheimer's disease. A team has demonstrated that tau PET - a novel imaging technique for visualizing the tau protein - can predict cognitive decline in patients much better than the imaging techniques normally used.

Scientists have embarked on expeditions to some of the world's tallest mountains to sequence a 390-million-year-old moss, revealing it likely isn't evolving fast enough to survive climate change.

In a murine study, scientists have identified a biomarker that may help physicians select lung cancer patients who can be treated with a single antibody-based drug that is likely to bring about full remission, without cancer relapse.

Ppharmaceuticals released from sewage treatment plants into farmland soils can affect water ecosystems and soil health. In a new study, researchers found that biosolids (treated sewage sludge) can reduce the absorption of these medications in soil.

New data from the largest US study following breast cancer survivors addresses a common question from breast cancer survivors: Is it safe for me to drink alcohol?
