L'Oréal's latest skincare gadget can analyze how well your skin is aging, determine which ingredients work best for you, and predict future skin issues.

A new UC Berkeley study finds that tampons used during menstruation can contain toxic metals, including lead, arsenic, and cadmium.

Michael J. Mitchell is developing lipid nanoparticles to deliver therapy to specific organs such as the lungs and brain.

In natural environments, plants encounter biotic and abiotic stresses that can significantly affect their productivity and health. Recognizing the importance of timely stress diagnosis, researchers have developed various sensors and devices to detect plant hormones, heavy metal responses, and pathogen invasions.

Ending acid rain was one of humanity's greatest environmental successes. Here's how it happened.

500,000 "Pilot COVID-19 At-Home Tests" distributed to CVS and 16,000 distributed to Amazon should be thrown out.

The mechanism of Long Covid (Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19; PASC) is currently unknown, with no validated diagnostics or therapeutics. SARS-CoV-2 can cause disseminated infections that result in multi-system tissue damage, dysregulated inflammation, and cellular metabolic disruptions. The tissue damage and inflammation has been shown to impair microvascular circulation, resulting in hypoxia, which coupled with…

Here the authors describe a small antibody-like protein that can prevent infection by diverse SARS-CoV-2 variants in cell culture and in mice that were intranasally treated with this inhibitor before or shortly after being exposed to the virus.

New antitubercular drugs are vital due to the spread of resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A research team from Skoltech, MIPT, and the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus (IBOCH NAS) has obtained ultra-high-resolution structures of the M. tuberculosis cytochrome in complex with an inhibitor. The team's findings show that glycerol—a widely used additive to…

Non-front-fanged colubroid snakes comprise about two-thirds of extant ophidian species. The medical significance of the majority of these snakes is unknown, but at least five species have caused life-threatening or fatal human envenomings. However, the ...

According to research, rising temperatures and continuous stratification cause the formation of carbonate crystals, which emit CO2.

EEL FISH profiles spatial transcriptomes in single cells in large, complex tissue samples.

Sans human data, mouse study offers first direct comparison of the two omicron boosters.

Cancers with common KRAS mutations can be treated with an inhibitor of lysosomal acidification in mice.

Mirror-image PCR and l-DNA sequencing-by-synthesis enables the directed evolution and selection of functional l-DNA aptamers.

SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies are readily detected with a biosensor.

Early in the pandemic, many people fastidiously disinfected surfaces because laboratory studies predicted that SARS-CoV-2 could be easily transmitted in this way. Now, researchers have found a possible explanation for why the predictions didn't pan out: Sugar-decorated proteins in mucus could bind to the coronavirus on surfaces, keeping it from infecting cells. The findings could also hint at why some people are…

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Tuesday that it will launch an independent review into any possible effects of toxic metals found in tampons.

In a study published in Science Advances, researchers from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE-Berlin) shed light on the intricate dance between the prion protein and copper ions in the physiopathology of live cells.

In response to bacterial CRISPR–Cas immunity, phages and plasmids have evolved small non-coding RNA anti-CRISPRs, known as Racrs, that sequester Cas proteins in abberrant complexes and thereby inhibit immunity.
