The findings of a new study provide important insights into the potential development of an oral insulin pill, and how a molecule that mimics insulin may advance diabetes research.

Scientists have created a prediction algorithm that may help target prostate cancer investigations to those at most risk, in a development that could reduce unnecessary testing.

Delirium is common among women with urinary tract infections (UTIs)—especially those who have experienced menopause. Investigators, working with laboratory mice, have been able to prevent symptoms of the condition with estrogen, which is commonly used for hormone replacement therapy.

To perform coordinated movements, we rely on special sensory neurons in our muscles and joints. Without them, the brain wouldn’t know what the rest of our body was doing. A new study has studied their molecular markers to better understand how they work.

A fast, needle-free malaria detection tool developed by a University of Queensland-led team could help save hundreds of thousands of lives annually.

Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance

The BioRescue team has reported a milestone in Science Advances: they have generated primordial germ cells from stem cells – a world’s first.

New findings from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research uncover critical insights about how a dangerous selfish gene, considered to be a parasitic portion of DNA, functions and survives.

In good news for those who don't like playing sport or going to the gym, new research finds just three to four one-minute bursts of huffing and puffing during daily tasks is associated with large reductions in the risk of premature death, particularly from cardiovascular disease.

Adult pluripotent stem cells can regenerate virtually any cell type and are found in many different animal species. Researchers have recently identified how these cells form in the embryo.
