Reagenics Research produces protein inside potatoes via plant cell culture, and studies show its low methionine content can help build muscle and slow ageing. Could the spud be the key to longevity?

The LEEMONS project is researching nanostructured silicon that uses low-energy electron multiplication (LEEM) to allow one high-energy photon to generate multiple electrons, reducing energy losses in ...

Researchers have created nanoparticles that can remove disease-driving proteins while also delivering a chemotherapeutic or ...

Scientists have discovered that cells can sense far beyond the surfaces they touch. While individual cancer cells can probe about 10 microns ahead by tugging on surrounding collagen fibers, clusters ...

Scientists are investigating how exercise-triggered stress reshapes the cell’s energy systems, and whether those same mechanisms could eventually help counter metabolic disease. Don’t like the gym?

Scientists reveal how dangerous 'zombie cells' accumulate in our bodies due to poor sleep, triggering serious health ...

Cryosleep’ remains the preserve of science fiction, but researchers are getting closer to restoring brain function after deep ...

After false starts and incremental gains, scientists crack the problem that made breathing impossible. Will answers come fast ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Major depression is one of the most common mental health conditions in the world. It affects millions of people and can cause deep sadness, loss of motivation, tiredness, and difficulty thinking ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often debilitating autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). This disease causes the immune system to mistakenly attack the protective ...

A lipid hidden within cells called phosphatidylserine reveals how the body initiates the removal of threats and cellular debris.
