A research analysis on the development of long-nosed gomphotheres, predecessors of today’s elephants, indicates that transitioning to open-area grazing contributed to the evolution of their…
A newly identified protein helps poison dart frogs accumulate and store a potent toxin in their skin which they use for self-defense against predators. Scientists…
A study of senescent (inactive) osteoclasts within the spinal columns of mice indicates that using anti-senescent drugs could relieve the spinal sensitivity that causes lower…
Researchers shed light on the paradox: while high-protein diets enhance athletic performance, they can contribute to health issues and shortened lifespan in non-athletes. Strength training…
Genetic analysis in humans and mice identify a zinc transporter as a potential target for therapy in type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease. Researchers…

Research findings highlight a potential new target for preventing lung disease caused by air pollution. According to a paper published in the journal eLife on…
Temperature variation affects pathogens and their hosts in distinct ways, and these organisms are influenced by the type of variation and the average background temperature…
The largest placebo-controlled trial of psychedelics to date suggests that the reported psychological benefits of microdosing are likely explained by the placebo effect. Positive psychological…
Understanding resistance rates and cross-resistance can improve the potency of sequential antibiotic treatment protocols. Sequential treatment using antibiotics that are similar but swapped around frequently…
A structural model of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein as the virus fuses with host human cells reveals an opportunity to disrupt dynamics and halt transmission….
Genetically modifying mosquitoes to express antimalarial genes and pass them on to their offspring is being tested as a new strategy to eliminate malaria. Altering…
A preliminary study shows that a drug, which helps immune cells self-clean, may improve vaccine protection in older adults. A drug that boosts the removal…
New findings reveal how ants increase their collective sensing power to help them navigate complex terrains. Ants use their numbers to overcome navigational challenges that…
A tool that uses machine-learning technology can distinguish the cause of different types of blood clots based on subtle differences in their shape. A new…
Dissecting self-organizing protein systems step by step may help scientists design the process of biological pattern formation from minimal ingredients. Probing the functional segments, or…
