Mosquitoes engineered to swap out an amino acid in a key protein were resistant to malaria infection, preventing them from transmitting the disease.

Using precision gene editing technology, researchers corrected mutations in the brains of mice with a devastating neurodevelopmental disorder.

Uri Manor’s own hearing loss may not have originally inspired his research path, but his work on the topic now may lead to new treatments and insights on aging.

Exposing people with similar types of breast cancer to radiation alone led to changes in tumor and immune cells, paving the way for novel treatment approaches.

The Nobel Prize-winning click chemistry technology allowed researchers to target tumors directly with a chemotherapy drug, preventing toxicity and side effects.

Contrary to long-standing assumptions, human egg cells stay pristine for decades not by ramping up waste disposal, but by dialing it down.

Despite sharing DNA sequences, monozygotic twins are epigenetically distinct and express different genes, offering a model to better understand diseases.

Scientists identified a nuclear mechanism that distinguishes chronic inflammation from acute inflammation in mice.

A neuronal mechanism pumps the brakes on pain, but failure of these brakes can cause long-lasting pain. The discovery could open new pain treatment paths.

Lac insects carry a yeast-like symbiont that produces a commercially important bright red pigment, revealing insights about insect-microbe symbiosis.

Investigating conserved signaling pathways in different cell types shows that memory is not a unique property of neurons.

Human organs-on-chips and organoids offer new alternatives to animals for drug development, but there is still a long way to go.
