The performance of a skin model produced by a 3D printer was equivalent to that of the conventional model produced manually. The biomimetic material can be produced on a large scale, reducing animal testing by the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.

A tool has been created to predict the effects of different diets on both cancerous cells and healthy cells, disentangling the subtle metabolic changes associated with different types of nutrients and the link between diet and disease.

Meteor analysis by Imperial College London researchers has revealed that a large proportion of the Earth's volatile chemicals came from asteroids in the outer solar system.

A new study from researchers at Portland State University has reported that a diet high in saturated fats – such as the ketogenic or “keto” diet – can alter the immune system in mice.

Innovative research has uncovered the secret of how plants make limonoids, a family of valuable organic chemicals that includes bee-friendly insecticides.

Taking a step towards gene therapies for a broader range of health conditions, researchers have developed a novel technology that can engineer proteins to target any stretch of DNA in the human genome.

A high-fat or high-calorie diet can interfere with the signaling pathway between the brain and the gut, altering the brain's ability to regulate food intake.

A study shows that levodopa has the potential to reverse the effects of inflammation on brain reward circuitry, ultimately improving symptoms of depression.

An AI system has been developed by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, that can generate artificial proteins from scratch.
