Researchers have documented the formation of so-called trioxides, an extremely oxidizing chemical compound that likely affects human health and global climate, for the first time under atmospheric conditions.

The delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to have loss of taste and smell as a prevalent symptom, even among the vaccinated.

Most Cas9s are too big to be fitted into popular genome therapy vectors, such as the adenovirus-associated virus (AAV). Cornell scientists provide an explanation for how this problem is solved by nature: they define with atomic precision how a transposon-derived system edits DNA in RNA-guided fashion.

Research shows that a combination of androgen deprivation therapy and pelvic lymph node radiation kept nearly 90% of clinical trial patients’ prostate cancer at bay for five years.

In a recent study, hypomethylating agents used to treat myelodysplastic syndrome have been shown to activate the oncogenic protein SALL4, leading to poor survival outcomes in patients.

Researchers have demonstrated the benefits of a new non-radioactive, neutral negative staining reagent by imaging viruses at nanometer-scale.

The potential of bony fish head cartilage as an alternative source of proteoglycans and chondroitin sulfate for health food formulations has been analyzed in a recent study.

Aboriginal Australian artists use plant exudates, such as resins, for their artworks. A team has now used X-ray technology to reveal insights into the molecular structure of plant samples from centuries ago.

Plastic upcycling processes continue to be advanced by a recently developed catalyst.

Scientists have succeeded in using bacteria for the controlled storage and release of hydrogen. This is an important step in the search for carbon-neutral energy sources in the interest of climate protection.
