Researchers at Hebrew University report a simple chemical link that could help explain how early Earth chemistry transitioned toward cell-like organization. Their work shows that...
Family physicians are expected to keep learning throughout their careers, yet a new survey suggests that residency training may not consistently measure whether trainees can...
Natural cell membranes excel at biological recognition, but translating their sensing abilities into practical devices is notoriously difficult. Once embedded in artificial materials, biomembranes often...
A new exploratory study is adding fresh data to the long-running question of whether immune activity around birth might influence neurodevelopmental outcomes. Reporting in Pediatric...
Deferred cord clamping (DCC) has long been viewed as a gentler bridge for babies transitioning from the womb to independent breathing. Now, researchers report that...
A team from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem reports that lignin—an abundant plant polymer usually viewed as industrial waste—can be engineered into a bioactive matrix...
Plant-based diets can reshape the gut ecosystem, promoting health through a spectrum of fibers and plant-derived compounds. Yet the precise mechanisms by which intestinal microbes...
Self-propelled “active” particles—microscopic objects that move by internally generating motion—have long challenged the classical picture of thermodynamics. A new study from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf...
New blood tests are beginning to reshape Alzheimer’s diagnostics by detecting molecular changes linked to the disease years earlier than symptom onset. Compared with brain...
Skeletal muscle may be a key—yet underappreciated—bridge between long COVID and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), a new study suggests. Researchers report that muscle characteristics...
Primate color vision depends on three cone pigments that all bind the same chromophore, 11-cis-retinal. Yet small differences in the surrounding protein tune each pigment...
Flies hunting airborne odor plumes do more than follow scent—they “edge track,” repeatedly steering along the moving boundary between odor and no-odor. In a new...
Simple chemical cues may soon help scientists predict which trace elements are most likely to enter plants from contaminated soils. In a new study published...
Scientists from Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami have identified a rare mutation that can make certain blood cancers resistant to nearly...
A new qualitative study published in The Annals of Family Medicine spotlights how day-to-day practice differs between U.S. primary care physicians working for health systems...
