Researchers corrected lamin A gene mutations, preventing skeletal and cardiac abnormalities and extending mice lifespans.

Rhythm produced more on-beat, steady brainwaves and finger taps when delivered as sound than as touch. 

GLP-1 is a natural human hormone that regulates blood glucose levels. Scientists have now created long-lasting GLP-1 drugs that can be used to treat type 2 diabetes, obesity, and a range of other conditions. ​​​​

With training in physics and electronics, this postdoc applies lasers and microscopy to advance sensing and imaging technologies.

From a regulatory T cell surprise to a long-awaited honor for metal-organic frameworks, scientists shared their thoughts on this year’s award-winning research.

The ability to detect subtle odors depends on genetics and neuroanatomy. Studying these can offer insights on how the brain processes olfactory information.

Halted training programs, funding chaos, and hiring freezes jeopardize advancement options for early career researchers.

A new bacterium expresses multiple different enzymes that rapidly metabolize carbon dioxide, offering a possible climate change solution.

Unlike traditional healthy versus disease biomarker studies, researchers cross-referenced human proteomes of almost 60 diseases to identify unique profiles.

Researchers built the first cross-species atlas of ovarian aging, showing how cell types and nerve networks may hold the key to extending reproductive health.

Microbiologist Cesar de la Fuente searches organisms’ genomes, including those that are long gone, to find “encrypted peptides” as new antibiotic candidates.

Scientists discovered a novel process, called cathartocytosis, where stomach cells “vomit” out their contents to quickly shrink and repair damaged tissue.
