Scientists discover how yellow fever and encephalitis viruses enter human cells, and block them with decoy molecules.

In Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, a protein called tau can pile up inside brain cells and form toxic clumps. Those ...

The Artemis 2 astronauts will venture deeper into space than any human has gone before. That presents some seriously exciting ...

Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

Scientists at Rutgers University–Newark have developed a first-of-its-kind RNA-based nanotechnology that assembles itself inside living human cells and can be programmed to stop propagation of harmful ...

Scientists reveal how Candida auris survives on human skin by feeding on CO₂ and how blocking it could stop its spread.

In a recent study, researchers manipulated cellular proteins that control genes in aged mice. Experimental results showed their livers were rejuvenated to younger states. This work shows promise as a ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

It’s been spruiked as everything from cutting-edge science to an unethical wasteland masquerading as healthcare.

The Ship of Theseus thought experiment is used to question whether something can remain the same when every physical part has ...

Australian researchers have uncovered a crucial new mechanism that helps explain how the heart's major blood vessels form during early development, and how disruptions to this process can lead to ...

Many Christians believe that life begins at the moment of conception – egg and sperm come together creating the new, unique ...
