One of the biggest challenges has been to create multi-layer tissue structures designed to enable the diffusion of nutrients for surrounding cells in a similar…
However, the T cells not only kill cancer cells – they additionally destroy the tumor blood vessel system, thus impeding the supply of nutrients to the tumor….
Two-timing is nothing out of the ordinary for them: for about 100 million years, grass smut fungi have been breeding in a three-gender system. This was…
Led by chemistry professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute early career scientist Martin Burke, the researchers demonstrated that the top drug for treating…
Her high school tutor had actually advised her against studying chemistry, saying that it was not a subject for a woman, but if she really must study it then…
The most effective anti-malaria drug can now be produced inexpensively and in large quantities. This means that it will be possible to provide medication for…
Led by chemistry professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute early career scientist Martin Burke, the researchers demonstrated that the top drug for treating…
Future climate change will have a major impact on biological diversity. This is especially true in Arctic and alpine environments, which will be exposed to the…

The study provides the first evidence of this mechanism in action and could offer new understanding of the cause of Type 1 diabetes. Professor Andy Sewell, an…
These findings, reported in the journal Nature Medicine, have important implications for patients and may help to monitor their condition and prevent the…
But now scientists have discovered the unique “drunken sailor” gait of dynein, a protein that is critical for the function of every cell in the body and whose…
Metal-based chemical catalysts have excellent green chemistry credentials—in principle at least. In theory, catalysts are reusable because they drive chemical…
