A study on velvet worm slime reveals its ability to transform from liquid to fibre and back, thanks to unique proteins. This discovery could lead to recyclable bioplastics and novel sustainable material designs.

The new method can measure 25 important markers in the blood simultaneously, such as cholesterol, in less than 15 minutes using radio waves. This new application could support more patients achieve an early heart disease diagnosis.

Researchers have studied how dopamine and acetylcholine regulate the progression of sexual behavior in male mice. Their findings may provide insights for developing treatments for sexual dysfunctions like premature ejaculation in humans.

A protein called angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2) can both inhibit and encourage blood vessel changes critical for sepsis, a leading cause of hospital deaths worldwide.

Researchers at the Stowers Institute discovered how selfish genes manipulate inheritance by forming toxic protein clusters. These genes, found in yeast, evolve rapidly to outpace genetic suppression but can also self-destruct, causing infertility.

Researchers demonstrate how breast cancer and its treatments contribute to accelerated aging in survivors. Breast cancer patients showed signs of faster biological aging compared to cancer-free individuals, with long-term lasting effects.

A first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence-based neural network can rapidly analyze and interpret millions of cells from a patient sample, predicting molecular changes in the tissue.

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen developed a hybrid paneer combining dairy and pea proteins to reduce cheese’s environmental footprint. Their study found that up to 25% of milk protein could be replaced without altering texture or taste.

Researchers uncover new insights into the molecular mechanisms of ADAR1, a protein that regulates RNA-induced immune responses. Their findings could open new pathways for treating autoimmune diseases and enhancing cancer immunotherapy.

Researchers discovered that Zika virus constructs nanotubes to transport infection across the placental barrier undetected. The viral protein NS1 triggers this process, allowing Zika to spread while evading immune defenses.
