A recent study shows how high ozone levels can destroy the sex pheromones of fruit fly species, changing the natural mating boundaries and causing flies of different species to mate.

Researchers have discovered a mechanism linking an essential energy consumption pathway to cancer development, which could be targeted to promote healthy aging.

A new study details how nutrient-starved cells break down protein transport stations to deal with stressful conditions.

A genetic predisposition for higher muscle strength predicts a longer lifespan and a lower risk for developing common diseases, reports a new study.

Innovative carbon beads, invented by researchers at UCL, reduce bad bacteria and inflammation in animal models, which are linked to liver cirrhosis and other serious health issues.

A single low dose of esketamine – the active form of the anesthetic drug, ketamine – can reduce depressive episodes when given immediately after childbirth, a new study has found.

Last month a story about a 62-year-old male made headlines after he claimed to have received 217 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. Scientists invited the individual for tests to investigate what happens in the body of a hypervaccinated individual.

Scientists have devised a new molecular tool that allows CRISPR RNA molecules that are located within the nucleus of a cell to move to the cytoplasm, making it highly effective at neutralizing RNA viruses.

A study published today in the journal Cell Reports has disentangled the mechanisms behind one of the ways cancer cells develop resistance to targeted therapy.

A deep dive into macroalgae genetics has uncovered the genetic underpinnings that enabled macroalgae, or “seaweed,” to evolve multicellularity. Surprisingly, many of these multicellular-enabling genes had viral origins.
