Merging data, diet, and design, this postdoc transforms research into action for heart health.

This postdoc’s research merges clinical insight and technology to make diabetes care more human, connected, and effective.

Researchers discovered how human astroviruses bind to a receptor on human cells at a molecular level, which could inform new preventive and therapeutic strategies.

Tatsuya Nobori brings high-resolution multiomic approaches to plant biology to map how plants interact with microbes on a cellular level in 3D.

Noise as loud as 85 to 100 decibels over time led to irreversible motor defects and loss of dopamine neurons in a mouse model of pre-symptomatic Parkinson’s disease.

The incidence of bloodstream infections may differ significantly across populations. Failure to account for these factors may lead to inaccurate projections. 

Antibiotic use in farm animals helps mitigate foodborne illness but contributes to antibiotic resistance. Small, bacteria-targeting peptides could solve both problems.

Researchers set a new world record for the fastest DNA sequencing, completing a whole genome in under four hours—a breakthrough with potential for faster, targeted care.

A new antibody therapy reawakens immune cells to launch an attack against tumor cells. This strategy could lead to more effective pancreatic cancer treatments.

These fluttering sensations are the brain’s reaction to certain emotions, which can be amplified or soothed by the gut’s own “bugs.”

Emma Dauster sank her teeth into a new chance to bring exciting science to the public.

Including more diverse populations in genetic studies can improve the understanding of obesity and lead to the development of better treatments for more people.
