A new framework uses machine learning to simultaneously predict molecular properties and generate new molecules using only a small amount of data for training.

A new study finds that ticks can harbor transmissible amounts of the protein particle that causes Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), implicating the parasites as possible agents in the disease’s spread between deer in Wisconsin.

Researchers investigated how seeing frightening news about climate change day after day may shape the way people feel about the phenomenon and how willing they are to take action to address it.

A group has discovered previously unidentified ovarian cancer-specific membrane proteins. Their findings suggest a new strategy to diagnose ovarian cancer.

Plants regenerate using pluripotent callus tissues and initiating the de novo formation of shoot apical meristem (SAM). However, the mechanisms governing the efficiency of regeneration are unclear. Now, researchers have shown that the WOX13 gene in Ara…

Human cells evolving in the laboratory undergo a series of predictable, sequential genetic changes that lead to pre-cancer. Blocking these changes may allow intervention before cancer occurs.

Extinct dwarf hippos that once roamed Madagascar lived in forests rather than open grasslands preferred by common hippos on mainland Africa. The findings suggest grasslands that now cover much of the enormous island off the eastern coast of southern Af…

A new study shows that intentionally integrating art with data visualizations can help non-expert audiences more meaningfully engage with climate change while also bridging political divides in ways that data alone cannot.
