U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) imaging instruments on three sun-orbiting observatories have captured sequences of comet ...

The innate immune system is the body's first line of defence against pathogens like bacteria or viruses. TRIM25 is a protein that is important in the innate immune response against RNA viruses, such ...

The Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGen), a resource that works to define the clinical relevance of genes and variants, has published data on more than 2,700 genes curated for relevance to genetic ...

Researchers have identified the first high-resolution experimentally determined structure in proteins that helps them survive harsh conditions such as radiation, heat and even the vacuum of space.

Early results from 4,000 babies show that genome sequencing picks up many more serious health conditions than standard newborn screening and is favored by most parents.

Using a few zaps of electricity to the skin, researchers can stop bacterial infections without using any drugs. For the first time, researchers designed a skin patch that uses imperceptible electric ...

A new study reveals that setting reminders can eliminate some age-related declines in memory. The findings offer a significant breakthrough in addressing the cognitive challenges faced by older adults ...

An old physical phenomenon, known as the Hall effect, has revealed some new tricks. New findings have potential implications for understanding fundamental physics of quantum materials and developing ...

Maternal antibodies passed across the placenta can interfere with the response to the malaria vaccine, which would explain its lower efficacy in infants under five months of age, according to new ...

The new mammal lived in Colorado 70 to 75 million years ago -- a time when a vast inland sea covered large portions of the state, and animals like sharks, turtles and giant crocodiles abounded.

By creating personalized brain 'organoids' in the lab, scientists showed how microRNAs impact brain development, and demonstrate how one drug can reverse critical cellular signs of autism.

As the Arctic warms, polar bears now face a greater risk of contracting several pathogens than bears three decades ago, according to a new study.
