Single-cell techniques have helped to identify a key molecular switch controlling how adult cells can be turned back to a stem cell-like state.

Researchers have identified a pain pathway that suppresses hunger, opening the door to understanding how pain quells other competing behaviors.

Three A*STAR scholars—Sarah Luo, Caroline Wee, and Kaicheng Liang—have been selected for the highly competitive National Research Foundation Fellowship out of over 134 applicants worldwide.

If cell-based therapies are to make it to the clinic, methods to grow stem cells in vast quantities will need to be developed. Here’s how A*STAR scientists are tackling the challenge of manufacturing stem cells at scale.

Researchers reveal that the buildup of branched-chain amino acids fuels the growth and aggressiveness of liver cancer cells.

A new imaging method could reduce the number of repeat operations for breast cancer

Insights into the molecular changes in regenerating liver cells may reveal ways to help patients recover from surgery or disease

Peptide coatings boost the biocompatibility and performance of tiny iron oxide-based particles for diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging 

A previously unsuspected region in the brain has been
implicated in controlling feeding in mice

Palladium catalyst speeds up two separate reactions,
making useful molecules in a single process

A new initiative will investigate the causes of heart failure in unprecedented detail.

Singaporean researchers tackle one of the world’s most pressing obesity problems — an issue that
could look like a slender person of Asian descent who eats rice three times a
day.
