An international team has created the Human Disease Blood Atlas, profiling blood proteins across 59 diseases and healthy stages. Each condition showed distinct molecular “fingerprints,” while shared ...

Stress granules are carefully regulated, forming only during stresses, such as heat or infection, and disassembling once the stress is resolved. Mutations in proteins such as VCP can derail this cycle ...

A popular class of therapies for treating diabetes and obesity may also have the potential to treat alcohol and drug addiction.

ETH Zurich scientists have developed MetaGraph, a DNA search engine that can scan vast genomic databases in seconds. By compressing 100 petabytes of sequencing data by a factor of 300, the tool ...

A new study shows longer-term use of generic ketamine for severe depression is safe and effective, but researchers say access to the low-cost option remains limited by funding gaps.

Advanced DNA sequencing technologies and a new model of stem cell research have revealed a new type of diabetes in babies.

Scientists conducted the largest Alzheimer’s gene expression study in African American brain donors, analyzing 207 prefrontal cortex samples. They found many genes altered in Alzheimer’s, with ADAMTS2 ...

Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine’s Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health (CVD) have completed a successful Phase 1 clinical trial of a novel vaccine designed to ...

A preclinical study by biomedical scientists at the University of California, Riverside, has shown why some people with multiple sclerosis, or MS, also suffer from seizures — a debilitating ...

Scientists at Umeå University have identified RfaH as a crucial protein that helps bacteria withstand the body’s hostile defenses. Acting as a transcription “anti-terminator,” RfaH keeps survival ...

One of the newest weapons that scientists have developed against cancer is a type of engineered immune cell known as CAR-NK (natural killer) cells. Similar to CAR T cells, these cells can be ...

Researchers have discovered how bacterial vesicles hitchhike on thin, hair-like protrusions on the cell surface to quickly and efficiently reach their target with their contents.
