Tracing the evolution of mint genomes has revealed a biosynthetic gene cluster that encodes two distinct terpenoid pathways, which could be leveraged for applications including medicines, pesticides and antimicrobials.

Mobile phone batteries with a lifetime up to three times longer than today’s technology could be a reality thanks to a new innovation.

Plants have inspired scientists to develop a new membrane separation technique to extract valuable minerals, metals and nutrients from wastewater.

Scientists have developed a new method to produce X-ray images in color using an approach that allows an image of a large area to be produced from a single exposure, without the need for focusing and scanning.

Researchers have improved the efficiency of molecular genetic methods such as CRISPR/Cas9 and related systems, and have broadened their areas of application.

According to research, marine bacteria can undergo a lifestyle switch from coexistence to pathogenicity, where they kill their phytoplankton hosts.

New research findings show in detail how self-reactive T cells – white blood cells that mistakenly attack healthy instead of infected cells, thereby causing an autoimmune or an inflammatory response – are held in check by regulatory T cells.

A protein that prepares DNA for replication also prevents the replication process from running out of control, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers.

A new study has found that the average pregnancy length in the United States (US) is shorter than in European countries. The research, led by Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) and Harvard Medical School, is published in PLOS One.

A dietary plant sugar found in seaweeds has been shown to increase the number of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and promote antitumor immunity, helping to suppress skin cancer growth.
