While the donor cells in a bone marrow transplant can help cure the patient’s blood cancer, they can also cause graft-versus-host disease — in which donor T cells, a specialized immune cell in the blood, attack the patient’s healthy cells. Before this…

Nuclear physicists have found a new way to see inside nuclei by tracking interactions between particles of light and gluons. The method relies on harnessing a new type of quantum interference between two dissimilar particles. Tracking how these entangl…

A new digital tool can help farmers plan weed control with reduced pesticide use. The IWM Tool is one of the results of IWMPraise, a six-year European project on integrated weed management.

A parasite which has devastating impacts on agriculture and human health is the first pathogen to have its proteins located and mapped within its cells — providing clues to their function and helping to identify potential drug targets.

Graphene is the strongest of all materials. On top of that, it is exceptionally good at conducting heat and electrical currents, making it one of the most special and versatile materials we know. For all these reasons, the discovery of graphene was awa…

Your circadian rhythm doesn’t just govern your sleeping schedule; it can also impact cancer development, diagnosis, and treatment. Researchers discuss the role of circadian rhythms in tumor progression and spread and describe how we could better time w…
