Female adolescents are experiencing relationship abuse at alarming rates, according to a new study that specifically researched reproductive coercion - a form of abuse in which a woman is pressured to become pregnant aga...

A new study identified and then reverse engineered the molecular properties shared by antibodies that are particularly efficient at inactivating or 'neutralizing' Lassa virus. The team's findings also revealed that most ...

In every tissue throughout our bodies, various cell types are communicating and coordinating their efforts to perform vital functions and maintain health.

Researchers have discovered that the human microbiome is churning out tens of thousands of proteins so small that they've gone unnoticed in previous studies.

Sixty percent of privately insured children undergoing tonsil removal received opioids -- with average prescriptions lasting about six to 10 days -- a new study finds.

A new method prevents crucial vaccine components from spoiling outside of a fridge -- meaning a thermally stable vaccine that can be reliably delivered to remote areas around the world is more likely.

Human apolipoprotein E (apoE) promotes hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and production, according to a new study.

Treating cancer more selectively and more effectively - this could be achieved with an innovative technology. The process transforms proteins and antibodies into stable, highly functional drug transporters, with which tu...

Despite improved knowledge of the molecular alterations in SCC, little is understood about how the alterations contribute to the development of the cancer and how potential vulnerabilities could be exploited to treat the...

Crohn's Disease is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in which the body's own immune system attacks the gastrointestinal tract, and treatment is focused on controlling the symptoms of the disease in its acute pha...

A new drug that penetrates the protective barrier around pancreatic cancers and accumulates in malignant cells may improve current chemotherapy, a study in mice suggests.

A new survey identifies several barriers that prevent the consistent use of fungal diagnostic preparations to correctly identify cutaneous fungal infections.

A team of biologists has discovered how cells become different from each other during embryogenesis, a finding that offers new insights into genetic activity and has implications for better understanding the onset of dis...

Researchers have found that intense light amplifies a specific gene that bolsters blood vessels and offers protection against heart attacks.

Electromagnetic fields might help prevent some breast cancers from spreading to other parts of the body, new research has found. The study showed that low intensity electromagnetic fields hindered the mobility of specifi...

Researchers have developed a new method for producing malleable microstructures -- for instance, vascular stents that are 40 times smaller than previously possible. In the future, such stents could be used to help to wid...

Researchers find tumor microbiome influences immune response and patient survival in pancreatic cancer. Study points to fecal transplant as possible treatment.

Scientists have announced a major breakthrough with important implications for sufferers of a common eye disease -- dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) -- which can cause total blindness in sufferers, and for whic...

New data suggest that people who have a parent, sibling, or child with blood cancer have a higher likelihood of being diagnosed with the disease.

Brain researchers have invented an inexpensive method to measure tremor as known from Parkinson's disease in mice. The method utilises the accelerometer in a smartphone to measure the tremor. The new invention allows res...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) visualizes internal body structures, often with the help of contrast agents to enhance sensitivity. Scientists have now developed a bimodal contrast agent suited for two imaging technique...
