Nitrogen fertilizer has helped transform modern agriculture, allowing farmers to produce far more food from the same land. Yet a significant portion of the nitrogen...
For years, epigenetic clocks have promised to reveal whether a person is aging faster or slower than the calendar suggests. Now, a new study is...
For years, CAR-T cell therapy has stood as one of cancer medicine’s most striking successes. By removing a patient’s T cells, genetically engineering them to...
For men with localized intermediate-risk prostate cancer, a high-tech radiation treatment that can complete therapy in just a few sessions did not outperform a more...
Traumatic brain injury is taking a far heavier toll in Pakistan than hospital statistics alone suggest. Two new studies led by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers...
A wound that heals imperfectly leaves a scar. In the genome, the equivalent scar is a mutation: a permanent alteration in DNA that remains after...
A vast network of pre-Hispanic earthworks in Colombia’s La Mojana region is challenging the long-standing idea that ancient societies transformed wetlands through short-lived, environmentally damaging...
Scientists in China have proposed a new framework that could reshape how catalytic materials are designed for the planet’s most urgent challenges. Called eco-nanozymology, the...
Pittsburgh researchers have uncovered a striking mismatch between the patients receiving focal therapy for prostate cancer and the men for whom current clinical guidelines support...
A public-health message that once seemed too simple to question—“always finish your antibiotics”—is colliding with a more complicated reality. New research from scientists at the...
An international team of researchers has reconstructed how the body sizes of Europe’s ancient carnivorous mammals changed during the Paleogene, a period spanning roughly 66...
Researchers at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Delft University of Technology have developed a new method for watching ions move...
A major shift in how prostate cancer is managed across the US Department of Veterans Affairs health system has allowed far more veterans with favorable-risk...
Only 13 low- and middle-income countries provide smokers with the full package of care recommended to help them quit, according to a new review published...
For decades, scientists have known that two unusual classes of antibiotics can shut down RNA polymerase, the molecular machine responsible for copying genetic information from...
