A new method for relocating proteins that have been misplaced in cells could mean new treatments for cancers and neurodegeneration.

Scientists have detected lipid biomarkers in children and teenagers with obesity that indicate an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, liver and heart disease as adults. A one-year lifestyle ...

Researchers found that X-rays of the kidneys using gold nanoparticles as a contrast agent might be more accurate in detecting kidney disease than standard laboratory blood tests.

A single treatment session, which includes the video game Tetris, can reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This has been shown in a new study carried out with healthcare ...

A study using a tiny roundworm could pave the way for new treatments for neurodegenerative disorders. Researchers linked the worm gene swip-10 to copper regulation -- a vital element for brain health ...

When screening pregnant women for gestational diabetes, casual blood glucose testing misses 70% of the cases. This study should encourage obstetricians to depend on more reliable tests to help prevent ...

A team developed a human iPS cell-derived kidney organoid-based proximal tubule-on-chip -- OPTECs-on-Chip -- that mimics in vivo renal physiology more closely than ever before. This model exhibits ...

Researchers demonstrated a new optical atomic clock that uses a single laser and doesn't require cryogenic temperatures. By greatly reducing the size and complexity of atomic clocks without ...

Research lays the groundwork for an app that may one day be able to listen to the patient read a paragraph and detect hepatic encephalopathy from their speech.

A study lays out a wide range of options available to cost-effectively eliminate greenhouse gas production from the energy system in the United States by 2050. The findings give policymakers and ...

A group synthesized multilayer perovskites with four and five layers, which were difficult to synthesize in the past. Analyzing the materials revealed a unique function in which they switch their ...

Researchers developed a new method that allows, for the first time, to elucidate the chiral structure of molecules -- the exact spatial arrangement of the atoms -- by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) ...
