A topical cream activated the skin's immune defenses and suppressed tumor growth in two preclinical models of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), according to a study published in the Journal of ...

Scientists have found a way to boost the efficiency of rubisco — the enzyme that powers life on Earth — and hope to transfer it to crops.

Researchers have pinpointed a gene mutation associated with survival at high altitudes that could restore myelin to damaged ...

Innate immune sensors – known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) – detect specific molecular components of bacterial or viral intruders. The PRRs forward the signals which results in the ...

Enzymes with specific functions are becoming increasingly important in industry, medicine and environmental protection. For example, they make it possible to synthesise chemicals in a more ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-BHU), in collaboration with leading institutions in the country, have conceived a new strategy that enables simultaneous detection and treatment ...

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is one of the most important processes in our cells to ensure that no faulty or incomplete proteins are produced. Scientists have now identified a central mechanism ...

Cone snails deploy sophisticated venom cocktails to paralyse prey. Anthony King talks to the researchers harnessing these ...

Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein ...

KMC’s multidisciplinary team successfully treated a pregnant woman with a rare condition, ensuring care under government-funded health schemes.

Cockroach gut microbes can rapidly degrade polystyrene, demonstrating their potential for plastic bioremediation.
