A previously unknown mechanism helps cancer cells selectively produce proteins that drive tumor growth—such as KRAS—in common cancers.

A study of plant enzymes found that protein shape and flexibility, influenced by changes beyond the active site, help determine how selectively enzymes interact with similar molecules.

A new study led by Texas Christian University researcher Gehendra Kharel suggests that common methods for reporting harmful substances in U.S. drinking water may significantly underestimate the ...

A two-step blood testing method improves the accuracy of Alzheimer’s diagnosis by distinguishing brain-derived tau proteins from those linked to other neurological or muscle disorders, potentially ...

Planned tests in 2027 will evaluate whether hydrogel technology can simplify biological sample transport, reduce payload mass, and lower costs for in-space research.

Developing reliable machine learning models for healthcare can be challenging when only small datasets are available. This challenge motivates research into whether quantum computing approaches can ...

Comparisons of human, chimpanzee, and gorilla brain organoids revealed differences in gene activity that may help explain the larger human neocortex and its development.

A comparison of 10 adults with mitochondrial disease and 10 healthy adults found increased energy demands, lower physical activity, and elevated levels of the mitochondrial stress marker GDF15.

Adults who consume higher levels of ultra-processed foods tend to have a less nutritionally adequate diet, a new study suggests.

Researchers identified how evaporation and droplet dynamics can affect biomarker measurements in exhaled breath condensate samples. The findings could help standardize breath-based diagnostics and ...

Researchers at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have successfully developed an innovative imaging biomarker, the Tumour Heterogeneity Index (THI), which enables non-invasive assessment of ...
