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A scientific paper that claimed to reveal why a promising cancer drug can fail in lung cancer treatment has been retracted, after the journal’s editor...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...
Milk is one of the most climate-sensitive commodities on Earth. Global production hovers between roughly 940 and 966 million tons a year, and even small...
An engineered oncolytic vaccinia virus that displays the interleukin-15 receptor alpha chain on the surface of infected tumor cells has shown striking ability to reshape...
For decades, anorexia nervosa has been studied largely through the lenses of psychiatry, psychology and neuroscience, with researchers focusing on measurable symptoms such as restriction...
Alzheimer’s disease begins, in many patients, with a quiet erosion of the brain’s memory machinery long before any diagnosis is made. Among the first structures...
A sweeping review published in the Journal of Materials Science: Polymers charts how a material thousands of times thinner than a human hair is quietly...
High in the forested slopes of Khanspur, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of northern Pakistan, mycologists have identified a mushroom species previously unknown to science. The...
For decades, the diagnostic journey for a patient with swollen lymph nodes or an unexplained chest or abdominal mass has almost invariably ended in an...
A new investigation drawing on the ECHO.CA.IL cohorts has examined a class of industrial chemicals that most expectant parents have never heard of, yet encounter...
Regulatory T cells, the immune system’s built-in mediators of self-tolerance, have long fascinated immunologists because of a seeming paradox. They are highly specialized peacekeepers that...
