First of a kind study shows an average 20% spike of nitrogen dioxide polluting the air for communities located near huge warehouses; people of color harder hit ...
Microbes that live in tree bark are sucking greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, making trees an even more critical part of combating climate change than scientists previously thought, according to a study published today in Nature.
If you or someone close to you has breastfed, you’ve likely heard no shortage of advice (both solicited and unsolicited) about the many ways breastfeeding helps babies’ developing brains and bodies. Until recently, however, experts weren’t sure how long these positive effects continue to impact child development after breastfeeding ends.

The inaugural reporting guidelines for precision medicine research, of which Wits University Professor Michèle Ramsay is co-author, have been published in Nature Medicine.
Scientists use a multimodal approach that combines hard X-ray computed tomography and X-ray fluorescence imaging to see the structure and chemical processes inside of a single cell.
New drug that disrupts two cellular targets would make it much harder for bacteria to evolve resistance
Argonne-led research working toward reducing electronic waste with biodegradable luminescent polymers with high light-emitting efficiencies.
Chemists have been working to synthesize high-value materials from waste molecules for years.
In 2022, Alaggio and colleagues revised the WHO Classification of Haematolymphoid Tumors resulting in elimination of the provisional diagnostic categories of Hairy Cell Leukemia Variant (HCLv) and B Prolymphocytic Leukemia.
A new study suggests that the U.S. government’s push to increase heavy-duty trucks’ energy efficiency could encourage more shipping by truck instead of rail, reducing the policies’ anticipated effectiveness by 20%.
Among the many challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic presented, disruptions in health care were among the most impactful. The pandemic was large-scale, lasted over two years, and resulted in millions of hospitalizations and 1.2 million deaths in the United States alone.
Van Andel Institute scientists have identified more than 1,000 previously undetected proteins in common metabolite samples, which persist despite extraction methods designed to weed them out.
Polyphenols are generally toxic to microorganisms. In peatlands, scientists thought microorganisms avoided this toxicity by degrading polyphenols using an oxygen-dependent enzyme, and thus that low-oxygen conditions inhibit microbes’ carbon cycling.
The UW Medicine-led research focuses on delivering a series of protein packets inside a shuttle vector to replace the defective DMD gene within the muscles. The added genetic code will then start producing dystrophin, the protein lacking in patients with muscular dystrophy.
There’s still much to learn about how doxorubicin, a 50-year-old chemotherapy drug, causes its most concerning side effects. While responsible for saving many lives, this treatment sometimes causes cardiac damage that stiffens the heart and puts a subset of patients at risk for future heart failure. To better understand and potentially control such complications, Tufts University School of Medicine and Tufts Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences researchers have isolated the immune cells that become overactive when patients take doxorubicin.
Researchers at Berkeley Lab have successfully demonstrated an innovative approach to find breakthrough materials for quantum applications. The approach uses rapid computing methods to predict the properties of hundreds of materials, identifying short lists of the most promising ones.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis report that psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, destabilizes a critical network of brain areas involved in introspective thinking. The findings provide a neurobiological explanation for the drug’s mind-bending effects.
Researchers at the Advanced Photon Source and Center for Nanoscale Materials of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have developed a new technique that pairs artificial intelligence and X-ray science.
Since the first exoplanet was discovered in 1992, thousands of planets orbiting stars outside of our solar system have been confirmed through a myriad of different methods, including direct imaging, gravitational microlensing, measuring transits, and astrometry.
