Deep inside liver tumors, communities of bacteria appear to be quietly shaping whether the most aggressive forms of hepatocellular carcinoma surrender to modern combination treatment...

Hypercalcemia—dangerously elevated calcium in the blood—is rare in children, but when it appears in hospitalized infants and toddlers it can be severe, deceptive, and easy...

Scientists have built and validated the first custom Infinium DNA methylation array designed specifically to profile the human imprintome, the collection of imprint control regions...

For more than two decades, engineers have dreamed of shrinking transistors into the ultimate limit of thinness: a single atomic layer. Two-dimensional materials such as...
