The UK risks missing its 2035 climate change target by a "huge margin" because too few policies for tackling emissions have been put in place, the country's top climate advisers warn

A groundbreaking study found that stem cells reduce the amount of virus causing AIDS, boost the body's antiviral immunity, and restore the gut's lymphoid follicles damaged by HIV. It provided a roadmap for multi-pronged ...

The virus that causes COVID-19 normally gets inside cells by attaching to a protein called ACE2. Researchers have found that a single mutation confers the ability to enter cells through another route, which may threaten ...

Study finds only 30% of genes traditionally associated with aging set the internal clock in drosophila. The rest reflects the body's internal response to bacteria.

Machine learning, a technique used in the artificial intelligence (AI) software behind self-driving cars and digital assistants, now enables scientists to address key challenges to harvesting on Earth the fusion energy t...

Combining single-cell genomic technologies, researchers create a new detailed map of the developing mouse cerebral cortex.

Researchers have developed a new approach in which specifically designed anti-inflammatory nanoparticles (NPs) that could be applied locally and selectively to chronically inflamed muscles severely affected or at more im...

Parents of children with Complex Medical Conditions were five times more likely to report suffering from poor or fair mental than parents of kids without these conditions, and also were more likely to struggle finding he...

Researchers were able to clearly connect declining levels of human mobility during regional shelter-in-place orders with pumas' increased willingness to utilize more urban habitat areas.

The body's immune cells fight off microbes and other invaders, and can also be reprogrammed or 'trained' to respond even more aggressively to such threats, report scientists who have discovered the fundamental rule under...

The "fight or flight" response in those who sleepwalk is significantly lower than in those who sleep soundly at night.

The discovery of teensy baby dinosaur bones and teeth in the Alaskan Arctic reveals that dinosaurs nested and incubated their eggs there 70 million years ago.

Scientists revise the current textbook knowledge about gastrulation, the formation of the basic body plan during embryonic development. Their study in mice has implications for cell replacement strategies and cancer rese...

Hyperactivity of the dopamine system may explain the prevalent traits and conditions associated with ASD more commonly found in males.

For postmenopausal women, eating 100g of chocolate within an hour of waking in the morning helped burn body fat and decrease blood sugar levels.

A partial skull and jawbone from Israel belong to a previously unknown hominin group, who may have been the ancestors of the Neanderthals - and who interacted with our species

Mysterious human may have been the ancestor of Neanderthals.

Researchers analyzed the genomes of more than 2,500 modern humans from 26 worldwide populations, to better understand how humans have adapted to historical coronavirus outbreaks.

In a rare gecko color variety known as Lemon Frost, scientists have traced an unusual coloring and tendency to form tumors to a gene linked to human melanoma.

Using methods from conservation science, a new analysis suggests that the first case of COVID-19 arose between early October and mid-November, 2019 in China, with the most likely date of origin being November 17.

Drugs targeting the gene MAGEA3 may help block the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of primary liver cancer and one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in the country. That's one conclusi...
