Drug developers can now leverage large language models to draft regulatory documents, which they hope will shorten the time to market.

A super-resolution microscopy technique offers an unparalleled glimpse into how monoclonal antibodies bind to their targets on cancer cells to induce cell death.

Dead bacteria release an enzyme that breaks down their contents into nutrients for other bacteria, highlighting a novel postmortem biochemical process.

Scientists have long thought that babies can’t form experiential memories. Turns out, they can. Adults just can’t remember them.

Uncover the mysteries of split brain syndrome and how severing brain hemispheres affects consciousness and perception.

A screen of human-infecting viruses identified extensive examples of viral proteins that resembled human sequences, which could trigger autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis.

Antibiotics increase the gut oxygen levels and favor growth of harmful fungi. Chemically restoring intestinal gut hypoxia could deter fungal blooms.

The measles virus attacks long-lived immune cells, reducing antibody-mediated protection from other infectious diseases and casting a long shadow of childhood mortality.

Until now, skin cells have been viewed as barriers that can respond to electric stimuli. Turns out, they also generate electric spikes, similar to neurons.

Nanoplastics in water hindered oxygen transport in zebrafish, underscoring their toxic impact on aquatic health.

Bridging science and religion, forensic researchers spent nearly a decade identifying the remains of a Croatian nun with DNA evidence.
