A new, first-of-its-kind sticker has been developed that allows clinicians to monitor organ and deep tissue health after surgery, enabling complications to be detected sooner.

In most cancer patients, there is an overactivity of the protein MYC in cancer cells. Now, a Danish research team has discovered an unnoticed function of MYC that could potentially be inhibited to weaken cancer cells.

A genetic "switch" has been identified that plays a role in controlling anxiety levels, which researchers hope could provide a new anxiety drug target.

MIT researchers discovered a brain circuit that drives vocalization and ensures that you talk only when you breathe out, and stop talking when you breathe in.

A new study has uncovered how a microbial combination manipulates sperm, which could lead to refined techniques to control populations of agricultural pests and insects that carry diseases like Zika and dengue to humans.

Plasmodium falciparum, a malaria parasite, uses gene conversion to produce genetic diversity in two surface protein genes targeted by the human immune system

The new cathode material for lithium-sulfur batteries is healable and highly conductive.

Researchers identify a novel gasping reflex triggered in response to airway closure. Sensory neurons in the lungs signal to the brain through the vagus nerve to initiate the reflex.

New research has found that rubisco – the enzyme that fuels all life on Earth – is not stuck in an evolutionary rut after all. The largest analysis of rubisco ever has found that it is improving all the time – just very, very slowly.

Queensland researchers have become the first in Australia to use human stem cells to generate fully functioning skin tissue in a laboratory, a significant step towards better treatments for severe burns and wounds.
