Researchers develop a new technique to ‘visualize’ osmotic pressures as organisms develop. These measurements can help understand how cells and tissues survive under pressure, and reveal how problems in regulating pressures lead to disease.

The finding has major implications for the generation of a strong CD8 T lymphocyte response, a crucial factor in the effectiveness of vaccines against infection.

In a remarkable scientific achievement, an international team has successfully obtained the world's first high-resolution 3D image of the thick filament in its natural cellular environment.

Though beer is a popular drink worldwide, it’s usually made from barley, which leaves those with a gluten allergy unable to enjoy it. Sorghum could be an alternative, but complex preparation steps have hampered its widespread adoption by brewers.

Imagine a skin cream that heals damage occurring throughout the day when your skin is exposed to sunlight or environmental toxins. That’s the potential of a synthetic, biomimetic melanin developed by scientists at Northwestern University.

A collaborative team of scientists identifies sensory neurons that control fainting. These findings lay the groundwork for the dissection of other cardiovascular reflex arcs involving the heart and the brain.

A new study has shown that Gulf War Illness reduces the energy produced by white blood cells, creating a measurable biochemical difference in veterans with the disease.

Human intestinal organoids have shed new light on the potential causes of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, a rare condition characterized by abundant non-cancerous growths or polyps in the intestine.

Lab-grown algal symbionts designed to be heat-tolerant could enhance heat resistance in corals, helping them resist and recover faster from bleaching.

New research combining computer modeling and experiments with macaques shows the body’s immune system helps control human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections largely by suppressing viral production in already infected cells.
