For The Better

New research has uncovered a selfish gene family that has survived for over 100 million years — 10 times longer than any meiotic driver ever identified — casting new doubt on established beliefs on how natural selection and evolution tackle these thr…

Endothelial cells — the cells that line blood vessels — grown alongside leukemia cells become corrupted and rescue the cancer cells from many chemotherapy drugs, a study found.

New research has directly shown that large reservoirs of natural ocean methane in mid-latitude regions will not be catastrophically released to the atmosphere under warming conditions.

In a series of experiments using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure brain activity across networks in the brain, researchers looked at how stress might increase appetite in obese and lean adults.

A recent discovery by materials science researchers might one day prevent electronic devices and components from going haywire when they’re too close to one another. A special coating that they developed, using a type of two-dimensional material called…

A study takes a closer look at a virus that causes tumors in monkeys called SV40. The unique way it infects a cell’s nucleus could underpin its ability to cause cancer.

Locked fingers, known as trigger finger, are more common among people with diabetes than in the general population. A study shows that the risk of being affected increases in the case of high blood sugar.

A new study on the potential for cross-contaminating kitchen surfaces with pathogens during food preparation has pointed to an unlikely culprit for spreading sickness: spice containers.

Ancient trees — those that are many hundreds, or even thousands, of years old — play a vital role in biodiversity and ecosystem preservation by providing stability, strength, and protection to at-risk environments. A team of ecologists highlight the …

Researchers have managed to sequence multiple individuals from a remote Neanderthal community in Siberia. Among these thirteen individuals, the researchers identified multiple related individuals — among these a father and his teenage daughter. The re…
