A clinical trial is investigating whether a stem cell-derived patch can replace disease-damaged cells and restore vision. Age-related macular degeneration is a steadily worsening eye disease and the ...

Researchers say the drug likely increases the risk of serious side effects, including heart disease, and that its potential harms probably outweigh any benefits. A large review of existing studies ...

A long-standing explanation for magnetoresistance may be incomplete. New evidence suggests a universal interfacial mechanism is at play. A major advance in spintronics came with the discovery of ...

Scientists are using CRISPR to fast-track the domestication of a wild fruit. For roughly 10,000 years, farming communities ...

Researchers demonstrated that newly developed molecules designed to block an immune checkpoint can trigger a powerful immune response against tumors. Scientists at MIT and Stanford University have ...

A team at UNIGE has uncovered a geometric structure once thought to be purely theoretical at the core of quantum materials, opening the door to major advances in future electronics. How can ...

A new stem cell–based therapy challenges traditional pain treatment by using pain-sensing neurons to reduce inflammation and protect joints. Newly released preclinical data describes an unconventional ...

Using AI, researchers identified one tiny molecular interaction that viruses need to infect cells. Disrupting it stopped the ...

Would you rather fight a horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses? As silly as it sounds, the question captures a real dilemma: do you go for a few high-quality options, or many lower-quality ones? A ...

A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...

A newly identified virus–cell hybrid structure allows viruses to spread faster and more aggressively by hitching a ride on ...

New clinical evidence indicates that a widely used supplement may alter gut microbes involved in vitamin D biology and ...
