A new RNA sequencing approach allows scientists to hone in on rare, often obscured transcripts that reflect the finer details of cellular function.

A new machine learning model identifies key dementia features from complex clinical datasets, potentially making diagnoses faster and less subjective.

A new molecular framework design boosts the stability and sensitivity of enzyme biosensors in wearable health monitors.

Innovative designer molecules called stapled peptides effectively target and block cancer processes, promising a new therapeutic approach.

High-resolution simulations uncover dynamic regions on the surface of dengue-like viruses to guide the design of novel antivirals.

Research indicates that a mother’s diet before conception may influence her child’s brain development and behavior.

Understanding the psychological traits of flexitarians reveal the different motivations for adopting a flexitarian diet.

As the immune system ages, our susceptibility to conditions such as cancer increases, prompting researchers to develop advanced experimental models to study these pathways.
