Although human cells have an estimated 20,000 genes, only a fraction of those are turned on at any given time, depending on the cell’s needs...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have identified a protein that could help physicians decide what type of therapy patients with hormone driven breast cancer...

You are not just yourself. You are also the thousands of microbes that you carry. In fact, they represent an invisible majority that may be...

Earlier this month, five researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, put out a paper discussing the possible development of mind-reading "neural dust," which could...

Researchers have identified a yet unknown bacterial cell-cell communication system. The micrograph shows the bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens. The cells labeled in red produce the aggregation...

Researchers have developed an "intelligent knife" that can tell surgeons immediately whether the tissue they are cutting is cancerous or not. In the first study...

An artificial bone scaffold produced by researchers in South Korea could enhance the treatment of bone damage and defects through bone grafts. Traditionally, bone grafts...

A novel material with world record-breaking surface area and water adsorption abilities has been synthesized by researchers from Uppsala University, Sweden. The results are published...

Scientists at UMass Medical School are the first to establish that a naturally occurring X chromosome “off switch” can be rerouted to neutralize the extra...

Artificial and natural knowledge researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have IQ-tested one of the best available artificial intelligence systems to see how...

Cell therapies may stop or reverse the pain and disability of degenerative disc disease and the loss of material between vertebrae, according to Duke University...

Artificial blood vessels which can survive in the body for up to nine months have been created from stem cells by scientists. Networks of blood...

Proper tissue function and regeneration is supported by stem cells, which reside in so-called niches. New work from Carnegie’s Yixian Zheng and Haiyang Chen identifies...

Researchers led by Adrian Liston at VIB and the University of Leuven have discovered the genes that control the number of regulatory T cells in...

Introductory chemistry students learn that oil and water repel each other. So do other hydrophobic substances, which carry no electric charge, and hydrophilic substances, which...
