Scientists have uncovered new evidence showing how type 2 diabetes directly reshapes the human heart, altering both its energy production and physical structure.

A novel electrode platform detects dopamine from single living brain organoids in real time, enabling non-destructive ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

Solar energy continues to grow as a key pillar of the global energy transition, but improving performance while keeping costs ...

A four–amino acid peptide called CAQK has shown powerful brain-protective effects in animal models of traumatic brain injury. Delivered through a standard IV, it zeroes in on injured brain tissue, ...

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome Project have unveiled the most detailed maps to date ...

New 3D genome maps reveal how DNA folding controls gene activity, offering fresh clues into disease and cell function.

Scientists have long known that mutations in certain genes affecting microtubules in plants can cause plants to grow in a twisting manner. In most cases, these are “null mutations,” meaning the ...

The gut–islets axis connects nutrient sensing in the intestine with insulin secretion from the pancreas and plays an essential role in glucose regulation. GLP-1 released by intestinal L cells can ...

Not since 2001—during the transition period following the Attitude Era—has the company gone a full 12 months without utilizing the unforgiving 20-foot steel structure. In a year characterized by ...
