A molecule released by fat tissue could offer scientists an earlier warning that obesity is beginning to damage children’s blood vessels, according to a study...

A new study examining neurodevelopmental follow-up for at-risk newborns across Washington State has brought attention to a critical gap in modern neonatal care: survival is...

A new wearable sensor designed to monitor the movement of water inside fragile, grass-like plants is turning a subtle biological process into a visible stream...

Optical metasurfaces—ultrathin layers engineered to control light through arrays of nanoscale structures—have long promised to replace bulky lenses, filters and optical components with compact, multifunctional...

Endometrial cancer is increasingly being detected through a sample that is simple to collect, painless to obtain and potentially suitable for repeated testing: urine. A...

A new research project at the New Jersey Institute of Technology is taking a closer look at a strange but important behavior in rubber-like materials:...

Animal testing has shaped modern drug development for decades, but its limitations become especially visible when scientists evaluate cancer immunotherapies. These treatments are designed to...

A tiny microscope weighing just five grams could give neuroscientists an unprecedented view of how individual brain cells control behavior while animals move naturally. Researchers...

The Marcus Foundation has awarded $28.7 million to Chuck Murry, MD, PhD, director of the USC Stem Cell Center, to support a clinical trial testing...

Scientists in Arkansas have developed a machine-learning approach that can identify potentially disease-causing strains of a poultry bacterium by analyzing not only which genes are...

A new three-dimensional look inside sorghum leaves is revealing how crops may be redesigned to use less water without sacrificing the carbon dioxide they need...

Transition-metal chemistry has transformed the way scientists modify complex molecules, but two of the simplest and most abundant substances on Earth—water and ammonia—have remained surprisingly...

Wayne, Akcan, Faust and colleagues have reported new evidence that immune signals associated with T helper 17 cells can reshape the brain’s vascular and immune...

For decades, sulfide-bearing wastewater has been treated as a problem to neutralize rather than a resource to recover. That approach may be poised for a...

A provocative reassessment of the PROTEUS study is challenging what it means to call a cancer trial “positive” when most patients do not achieve a...
