A new Cochrane review has challenged several long-standing preparation techniques used immediately before embryo transfer in in vitro fertilization, finding no reliable evidence that they...
Cancer researchers have designed a synthetic peptide that turns tumour cells into highly visible targets for the immune system by programming a previously unrecognized form...
Assistant Professor Jiaqi Ma has received a five-year, $660,307 National Science Foundation CAREER award to investigate one of the most consequential and least understood forces...
Near-infrared light is invisible to the human eye, yet it quietly powers some of the technologies shaping modern life. It is used in optical communications,...
Boston researchers and international collaborators have unveiled a landmark cancer research resource: 665 next-generation patient-derived models representing 27 common and rare cancer types. The collection,...
A new review in Genes & Diseases describes how DNA-based technologies are moving medicine toward a future in which disease is detected and prevented before...
A bile acid long associated with liver damage may have a much narrower—and potentially useful—side to its biological identity. In a new study published in...
Albic soils, known for their pale, compacted layers and low fertility, may have found an unexpected ally in a combination of ancient farming restraint and...
Scientists have created nearly 700 new cancer models from patient tumors, delivering one of the largest publicly available collections of human cancer organoids and cell...
Carbon nanotube films have long been viewed as promising candidates for next-generation impact protection because they are exceptionally lightweight, flexible and compatible with scalable manufacturing....
Cancer research is entering a new phase in which tumors are no longer viewed as isolated collections of malignant cells. A review published in Genes...
A comprehensive review published in Genes & Diseases is drawing renewed attention to FOXK2, a transcription factor that may help explain why tumors behave so...
For decades, physicists have been trying to understand what happens when a material that should conduct electricity instead behaves like an insulator—and what changes when...
A transparent object can be physically present yet nearly invisible to an ordinary camera. Glass, plastic films and living cells often produce little change in...
Cancer research is entering an era in which tumors are no longer viewed as isolated masses of abnormal human cells. A growing body of evidence...
