Breast cancer cells do not always spread as solitary invaders. In many of the most difficult-to-treat tumors, they move through surrounding tissue as coordinated groups,...

A New Open-Access Atlas Could Solve One of Drug Development’s Biggest Delivery Problems For a promising medicine, identifying the right biological target is only the...

Australian researchers have identified a molecular vulnerability that could help explain why triple-negative breast cancer so readily spreads through the body—and may have revealed a...

Automatic Crash Alerts Could Become the Next Essential Vehicle Safety Feature A technology that can summon emergency help before a crash victim is able to...

A new study from researchers at the University of Michigan has identified a potential two-drug strategy for treating an aggressive form of prostate cancer that...

Optical fibres have carried the world’s internet traffic across oceans and continents because they can guide light for astonishing distances with remarkably little loss. Now,...

Concrete may absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but the process is far too slow and limited to counteract the emissions generated by cement production,...

A Baylor College of Medicine-led research team has identified a molecular route by which estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer cells may become especially capable of...

Liquid crystals are best known as the active materials inside televisions, smartphones, and computer monitors. Yet their scientific potential extends far beyond the familiar world...

A new complex medical diagnosis may do more than reshape a patient’s treatment plan. It may also influence which health insurance system that patient chooses,...

Influenza A virus (IAV) may target the lung’s most vulnerable cells not because they allow the virus to enter more efficiently, but because they are...

Dryland dumpsites may be doing far more than storing discarded plastic. A new review suggests that the intense sunlight, dramatic temperature swings, abrasive winds and...

Lung cancer screening can detect tumors before symptoms appear, when treatment is more likely to succeed, yet a national analysis suggests that the conversation needed...

A new review suggests that the next generation of biomedical hydrogels could be designed less like uniform gels and more like precisely engineered miniature landscapes,...

A corporate merger can make medicines cheaper to produce without making them cheaper to buy. New research examining the 2019 combination of the consumer healthcare...
