A new preclinical study in mice shows that precancerous cells in the pancreas can be eliminated before they have the chance to become tumors. Using an experimental therapy to target microscopic ...
Scientists usually study the molecular machinery that controls gene expression from the perspective of a linear, two-dimensional genome—even though DNA and its bound proteins function in three ...
Imaging-based single-cell physiological profiling holds great potential for uncovering fundamental bacterial cold shock response (CSR) mechanisms, but its application is impeded by severe focus drift ...
Over the past decades, energy engineers have developed increasingly advanced battery technologies that can store more energy, charge faster and maintain their performance for longer. In recent years, ...
Students can find quick revision materials for the ICSE Class 10 Biology (Science Paper 3) exam on Friday, March 13, 2026, ...
Vaccines have traditionally worked by teaching the immune system to recognize a specific virus or bacterium—in effect, ...
It is not easy to bring new technologies from the laboratory to market. Researchers and companies face very different demands for new developments and do not always find common ground. Scientists at ...

Sickle cell disease: Beyond ‘eat better’

“Eat better.” It is one of the most common pieces of advice given to people living with chronic illness. Eat more vegetables. Increase protein. Reduce processed foods. Stay hydrated. Support your ...
Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene expression. Scientists have now developed a way to silence that cellular noise, ...
How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...
It's time to stop bickering, accept what science tells us, acknowledge the widespread occurrence of intentional behavioral flexibility, and pay attention to why it has evolved.
In 1921, Otto Loewi woke from a dream with the idea for an experiment that proved nerves communicate using chemicals, not just electricity. By showing that stimulating one frog’s heart released a ...
