Human brain organoids have rapidly become one of the most compelling tools in modern neuroscience, offering researchers a three-dimensional, laboratory-grown glimpse into processes that were...
Salt is the quiet engine of the global diet. It does far more than make food taste salty; it suppresses bitterness, amplifies sweetness and umami,...
A simple blood draw performed in the first weeks of chemotherapy may reveal whether metastatic breast cancer is responding to treatment long before scans can...
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have rewritten the rules of modern cancer care. By blocking inhibitory receptors such as PD-1 and CTLA-4, these drugs release the brakes...
Molecular descriptors sit at the heart of quantitative structure–activity and structure–property relationships, the computational frameworks that chemists and bioinformaticians use to predict how a molecule...
Fluorine is one of chemistry’s most indispensable elements, embedded in everything from antidepressants and asthma inhalers to lithium-ion batteries, refrigerants and the nonstick coatings in...
Artificial intelligence has taken another step into the veterinary clinic, this time by learning to read the same stained cytology slides that clinical pathologists examine...
Gunshot injuries remain one of the most visible and devastating consequences of prolonged armed conflict, and few places illustrate their burden more clearly than Mogadishu,...
In the sun-baked landscapes where the swallowtail butterfly Battus polydamas archidamas makes its home, caterpillars huddle together in clusters on their host plants, a behavior...
For decades, computational biologists have relied on flat, Euclidean space to represent and compare biological sequences, from strands of DNA to the spike proteins of...
Transgenic crops engineered to produce insecticidal proteins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have transformed pest control across millions of hectares of corn and cotton...
A little-studied fragment of a protein best known for its role in blood vessel biology is stepping into the spotlight of exercise science. In a...
One of the long-standing puzzles in hypertension research concerns the role of the immune system in driving high blood pressure and the organ damage that...
A scientific paper that claimed to reveal why a promising cancer drug can fail in lung cancer treatment has been retracted, after the journal’s editor...
Extreme heat and extreme cold are not experienced equally across society, and few environments illustrate that inequality as starkly as prison. A new study published...
