Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have now developed a method that allows for the first time to reconstruct the temporal development—the evolution—of cancerous cells from a single tissue sample.

A new study from researchers at the University of Nottingham provides the strongest evidence to date that cancer is extremely rare in turtles.

The newly created protein, termed "de novo-1", binds to a heme-related target in E. coli, preventing the bacteria from acquiring the iron it needs to survive.

Stanford researchers developed a blood test that measures the biological age of individual organs by analyzing protein levels. The method predicts disease risk and mortality better than chronological age.

The study reveals how interactions between cryptic mutations can increase or decrease the number of reproductive branches on tomato plants.

A study from the University of Chicago introduces an RNA-based liquid biopsy that detects early-stage colorectal cancer with 95% accuracy. The test overcomes the limitations of DNA-based methods.

MIT engineers have designed an implantable reservoir that can remain under the skin and be triggered to release glucagon when blood sugar levels get too low.

New research suggests that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has four distinct subtypes: social and behavioral challenges, mixed ASD with developmental delay, moderate challenges and broadly affected.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine found that psilocybin improved cell longevity and boosted survival in aged mice. Lab-grown cells exposed to psilocin lived longer and showed better stress resistance.

Researchers at the University of Tartu found that genetic differences in the CYP2C19 gene significantly affect how people tolerate antidepressants. Slow metabolizers faced 49% higher side effect risk, while ultra-rapid ones had reduced risk.
