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.

Regulatory T cells, which prevent the immune system from attacking the body, were the subject of this year’s Physiology or Medicine Nobel Prize. How do they work?

Options in science are still limited for women, but there are ways to fix it.

This postdoc’s work emphasizes self-efficacy, evidence-based teaching practices, and professional development for the next generation of educators.

By profiling brains from healthy people aged one to 104, researchers found that mutations accumulate in some genes more than others, gleaning insight into aging.

Researchers identified immune cells that attacked the neuronal protein C9orf72 in individuals with ALS, spurring new possibilities for therapeutic development.

Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi won this year’s Physiology or Medicine Nobel Prize for their discoveries concerning a mechanism that prevents the immune system from harming the body.
