KAIST researchers have identified a possible route toward electric-vehicle batteries that charge faster without losing as much performance or lifespan. Their approach uses a three-dimensional...
Cancer cells may have a previously underappreciated vulnerability: their dependence on the controlled production of a membrane lipid that helps organize the cell’s internal architecture....
A newly reported molecular mechanism is drawing attention to one of the most tightly regulated steps in cell biology: the production of histone proteins during...
A nanoscale coating that deliberately uses tiny surface “defects” to make water droplets appear faster and leave the surface sooner has delivered a dramatic increase...
Pancreatic cancer has long challenged scientists not only because it is difficult to detect and treat, but also because a single tumour can behave like...
A new study published in Nature Communications is drawing attention to a question at the intersection of diabetes, heart rhythm disorders and stroke prevention: could...
A Parkinson’s treatment designed to smooth out the disease’s most disruptive motor fluctuations is now drawing attention to a different clinical challenge: psychotic complications that...
For decades, biologists have known that the liver is not a uniform chemical factory. Its cells perform different tasks depending on where they sit within...
A new approach to building faster, more compact optical sensors could help push silicon photonics beyond the limits of conventional semiconductor platforms. In a study...
Rare childhood central nervous system tumours have exposed one of the most stubborn weaknesses in modern oncology: science can move faster than the clinical-trial systems...
Parkinson’s disease has long been described as a disorder of dopamine-producing neurons, but a new comparative study suggests that its molecular story may be far...
A smartwatch may be doing far more than counting steps. It may be quietly recording a shifting portrait of how the body ages—minute by minute,...
A metabolic by-product best known for its role in cellular energy production may be helping obesity turn osteoarthritis into a more aggressive and destructive disease,...
Cytokines are among the immune system’s most powerful molecular messengers. These small proteins coordinate inflammation, guide the development of immune cells and help the body...
A new study in npj Viruses is examining how orthoflaviviruses manipulate one of the most dynamic systems inside infected cells: the mitochondria. The article, “Mitochondrial...
