Diabetic neuropathy is a painful complication of diabetes, but selective monoclonal antibodies against a key inflammatory molecule could lead to a treatment.

We had no seed money, no template, and a question no one had asked in Brazil. Here's how we pulled it off.

This postdoctoral researcher explores plant-associated microbiomes and hopes to leverage these interactions to grow resilient crops and promote global food security.

Researchers testing out CRISPR systems found that their ability to disrupt gene expression was artificially enhanced by an issue with a measurement technique.  

More than a decade of work led to a dual-targeting antibody mimic of a blood clotting protein to treat hemophilia A. Three scientists received a Lasker Award for their efforts.

US-based researchers are seeking academic asylum in Germany following the Trump administration’s funding cuts—a loss to American science.

Regulators are steering drug testing away from animals, and the systems stepping in each capture only a slice of a living body.

This postdoctoral researcher explores how genetic variation and social determinants influence personalized health outcomes.

AI tools can streamline research tasks, but they must be grounded in trusted data and keep scientists in the driver’s seat.

Chemical and genetic suppression of a microRNA helped prevent disease in mouse models of pulmonary arterial hypertension, opening a path to new therapies.

Are Bunsen burners a microbiologist's must-have to prevent contamination or a mental good luck charm? Scientists put them to the test.

In 15 days, scientists grew bovine cell structures that contained muscle, nerve, and blood vessel precursors in a valuable step toward lab-grown meat options.
