The brain is increasingly being understood not as an isolated command center, but as part of a continuously communicating biological network that includes the heart,...

Artificial intelligence is being promoted as the next great revolution in health care, but a new study suggests that one of the populations most likely...

DNA repair has traditionally been viewed as a process centred in the nucleus, where the genome is stored and monitored. A new study from the...

Tiny pores that can sense molecules are being transformed into autonomous chemical machines capable of generating signals, adapting to their surroundings and retaining a memory...

The blood vessels running through muscle and bone may be more than passive delivery routes. They could be the central communication network that determines whether...

Long COVID is increasingly understood as a disease that can persist beyond the respiratory phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection, affecting multiple organs and, in some patients,...

As populations age, the ability to understand, evaluate, and use health information is becoming an increasingly important determinant of everyday wellbeing. A new study by...

Cancer of Unknown Primary is one of oncology’s most frustrating diagnoses: a patient has metastatic cancer, yet conventional tests cannot identify the organ where the...

Light-driven chemistry has opened a powerful route to molecules that are difficult to build by conventional methods, but one major challenge has remained largely unresolved:...

A negative BRCA1 or BRCA2 test does not necessarily place a woman at the same breast cancer risk as the general population, according to a...

Liquid hydrogen is often described as a clean-energy solution with a deceptively difficult storage problem. Turning hydrogen into a liquid requires cooling it to approximately...

Liquid biopsy is emerging as a potential way to detect and monitor cancer without repeatedly removing tissue from a tumor. In a study scheduled for...

For more than a century, the South African butterfly lilies of the genus Wachendorfia have challenged botanists with a striking question: how do these plants...

Artificial intelligence is transforming nearly every corner of modern life, but behind every generated image, internet search, recommendation and scientific simulation lies a rapidly expanding...

A new clinical trial is opening a potentially important chapter in the treatment of primary plasma cell leukemia, a rare and exceptionally aggressive blood cancer...
