‘Lost’ immune cells partly to blame for reduced vaccine response in older people
Understanding the ways our immune response changes as we age holds the key to designing better vaccines and boosting protection for people most at risk....
Team led by NCKU researcher performs cosmological modeling to shed light on the nature of dark energy
In the late 20th century, the observation of a type one-A supernova led to the discovery of accelerating expansion of our Universe. Up until now,...
Corals mark friendly algae for ingestion—revealing possible conservation target

A guide through the genome
Plants show enormous variety in traits relevant to breeding, such as plant height, yield and resistance to pests. One of the greatest challenges in modern...
Targeted protein degradation as a therapeutic strategy – the focus of the 39th Barcelona BioMed Conference
Targeted protein degradation uses different types of "degrading" drugs (degraders) to force proximity between a target protein (for example, a mutated protein that contributes to...
Exercise seems to protect against major brain hemorrhage
Regular physical activity and exercise may reduce bleeding in individuals with intracerebral hemorrhage, a University of Gothenburg study shows. The researchers emphasize the importance of...
