A study finds that a high-fat diet impairs neutrophil function in mice, making them less effective at killing bacteria. Neutrophils from obese mice had altered gene expression and reduced bacterial killing abilities.

Using machine learning workflows developed in-house, researchers have established that heat conduction is much more intricate than previously thought. The findings offer potential for developing custom thermal materials.

Scientists used CRISPR technology to create embryo-like structures, or embryoids, from stem cells. These programmable models mimic early developmental stages and allow scientists to study gene activation and cell behavior in early development.

A new study suggests there may be an easy way to predict which women are most at risk – low creatinine-to-cystatin C ratios.

By testing water samples collected from red tide blooms off southwest Florida, the researchers found several viruses, including one new viral species, present in K. brevis blooms.

Scientists have identified promising drug candidates that bind irreversibly with a notoriously “undruggable” cancer protein target, permanently blocking it.

A new AI model can analyze dendritic growth in thin films, improving understanding of material processes and paving the way for more efficient fabrication, potentially revolutionizing high-speed communication systems and material science.

New magnetic nanoparticles in the shape of a cube sandwiched between two pyramids represent a breakthrough for treating ovarian tumors and possibly other types of cancer, according to Oregon State University researchers.

Scientists at the University of South Australia have come up with an innovative solution to improve the effectiveness of cannabidiol to treat epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. This could reveal how the heaviest elements are formed in the universe.
