Oak Brook, IL—SLAS Discovery’s Volume 40 spotlights four original studies that push drug discovery forward by engineering faster, more quantitative...

Fungi quietly underpin modern life, from producing medicines and shaping food systems to enabling industrial material processing. Yet their genetic...

Researchers at the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), IrsiCaixa, and CIBEREHD have introduced...

LMU researchers have reported a striking challenge to a long-standing textbook rule of photosynthesis: oxygenic photosynthesis can, in principle, occur...

What if milk’s most important proteins could be produced by plants instead of cows? A new study from Hebrew University...

An international team of researchers has developed a quantitative approach to reveal hidden, cell-by-cell differences in how viruses infect and...

A new analysis from Germany investigates how the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the usual seasonal rhythm of respiratory illnesses—and how those...

In biological systems, proteins communicate by locking onto specific molecular partners with high precision. For decades, scientists have tried to...

A team of primatologists has announced the discovery of a previously unknown colobus monkey in the forests of the Democratic...

Underwater caves can read like locked time capsules—bones survive, surfaces remain detailed, and ancient animals leave chemical traces. Yet figuring...

Honey bee colonies are increasingly pressured by temperature extremes that disrupt normal physiology and threaten survival. A new study suggests...

In the rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), scientists have confirmed a previously unknown African monkey species, described...

Uppsala University researchers have identified a completely new fungal species, naming it Semicentenialea rex in honor of Sweden’s King Carl...

A new preclinical study in Biomedical Analysis reports a targeted nanomedicine strategy that tackles a long-standing obstacle in copper-dependent cancer...

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) develops after repeated head impacts and traumatic brain injuries, most often reported in contact-sport athletes and...

Elephants can “hear” their environment in more ways than we do. Beyond airborne sounds, they transmit signals through their bodies:...

Medaka (Oryzias latipes) males are famous for their intense, repeatable spawning behavior during breeding season. In a new study, researchers...

Hybridization is often described as a force that can blur species boundaries and redirect evolution, yet its consequences for endangered...

Cells behave like crowded cities, yet many crucial molecular conversations have been impossible to watch directly in real time. Traditional...

A new evolutionary study is upending a century-old assumption about how vertebrate muscles work. For decades, researchers have treated muscle...
