Summary Points A recent high profile report estimates that, by 2050, 10 million people will die every year due to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) unless a

Over the next decade, researchers will compile a comprehensive and freely available map of the cells of the human body, complete with descriptions about their
The blood disorder, β-thalassaemia, is considered an attractive target for gene correction. Site-specific triplex formation has been shown to induce DNA repair and thereby catalyse
Scientists have for this first time reprogrammed murine embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into fully functional oocytes in the laboratory.
Sets of neurons in the brain that behave together—firing synchronously in response to sensory or motor stimuli—are thought to be functionally and physiologically connected. These
In mice, severely restricting caloric intake promotes the transformation of white fat into brown fat, which contains cells that burn energy faster, according to a
Scientists studying Zika are moving quickly to generate a vaccine against the mosquito-borne virus that continues to spread through South and Central America and is
Near Eastern genomes from Iran The genetic composition of populations in Europe changed during the Neolithic transition from hunting and gathering to farming. To better
Whether at school, in car accidents, on the sports field or the battlefield, mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a common part of our lives.
The malaria vaccine doesn’t provide lasting protection against the mosquito-borne disease, according to a study published yesterday (June 29) in NEJM: it delays infections by
Dying tumor cells release the phospholipid S1P, which stimulates proinflammatory responses in tumor-associated macrophages, including secretion of the protein lipocalin-2. Jung et al.discovered that in

Clusters of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) may play a larger role in cancer metastasis than previously thought. Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital have now shown
It’s practically dogma at the health food store: Substances called antioxidants, found in foods from blueberries to broccoli, are cancer’s nemesis, and the more you
The lead in the water in Flint, Mich., is a devastating reminder of how closely human health is intertwined with the environment. While the Flint crisis may
Emerging evidence suggests that metastasis the spread of cancer from one organ or tissue to another—is aided by a significant remodeling of the cancer cells’
A new study jointly led by the University of Southampton and King’s College London has found a link between gum disease and greater rates of
The evidence continues to mount over the importance of the human microbiome—especially within the intestinal tract—for supporting optimal growth and overall health and wellness. Over
Economic booms and improved transportation may come with a costly downside: increased transmission of viral diseases. Adda studied 25 years of weekly disease surveillance reports
There is a growing reproducibility problem across the life sciences. The retraction rate of published papers has increased tenfold over the past decade, and researchers
