In a study of prostate cancer, researchers found that tumors used proteins to hijack our circadian day-and-night rhythm and decrease the effects of anti-hormonal therapy.

Researchers have identified cryptic vulnerabilities in an oncoprotein that could be used in the development of novel anti-cancer drugs.

An oral antiviral for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has been identified that inhibits viral DNA synthesis and could provide an effective treatment against RSV disease.

The migration of carbon atoms on the surface of the nanomaterial graphene was recently measured for the first time.

Anthropogenic eutrophication of lake ecosystems is a global problem, especially for some large shallow lakes. But until now, scientists have been unclear why shallow lakes appear prone to eutrophication.

A biofilm comprised of bacteria that convert environment-harming nitrogen compounds into nitrogen gas has been shown to reduce the levels of nitrogen compounds in wastewater by up to 70%.

Investigators report high rates of new tuberculosis infection among adolescents in Tanzania.

Researchers have created an in vitro human model of environmental enteric dysfunction in a microengineered Intestine Chip device, providing a window into the complex interplay between malnutrition and genetic factors driving the disease.

A change in gene expression following heart surgery in pigs has been shown to extend the regenerative ability of cardiomyocytes after a heart attack.

The analysis of the human brain is a central goal of neuroscience. However, for methodological reasons, research has largely focused on model organisms, in particular the mouse. Now, neuroscientists gained novel insights on human neural circuitry using tissue obtained from neurosurgical interventions.
