Prostate cancer is the second-most common cancer in men. A new study from Thomas Jefferson University uncovered a new ...

Can eating fat be good for us? Some fatty acid molecules actually play a crucial role in maintaining our health and cellular functions. By the early twentieth century, scientists and doctors widely ...

The new molecules selectively reduced inflammatory signaling in human immune cells without affecting other immune pathways. Treatment with the molecules also reduced inflammation in mice with the ...

Many diseases arise from the misplacement of proteins in cells. A potential solution to this problem has been developed: small molecules that help displaced proteins catch a ride with other proteins ...

Scientists have discovered a remarkable way to destroy cancer cells. Stimulating aminocyanine molecules with near-infrared light caused them to vibrate in sync, enough to break apart the membranes of ...

Complex sugar-protein molecules that sense external messages to help a cell grow or respond to its environment can now be ...

That’s only one problem. Your immune system also has an adaptive system of specialized immune cells and antibodies that attack and destroy invading microbes. This system remembers what those intruders ...

Drug discovery is shifting from static snapshots to moving pictures. Instead of inferring how medicines work from end results ...

A team of researchers at the Departments of Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry of the University of Malaga and The Biomimetic Dendrimers and Photonic Laboratory of the research institute IBIMA ...

A few years ago, researchers developed a novel treatment that seemed to repair tissue and spinal cord injuries. These so-called dancing molecules have now been applied to human cartilage cells, and ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown type of molecular motion inside DNA-based droplets: instead of spreading randomly, guest molecules advance in an organized wave. This surprising ...

Scientists have discovered a remarkable way to destroy cancer cells. A study published last year found stimulating aminocyanine molecules with near-infrared light caused them to vibrate in sync, ...
