Scientists have identified how the first domino falls after a person encounters an allergen, such as peanuts, shellfish, pollen or dust mites. Their discovery could herald the development of drugs to prevent these severe reactions.

A perspective piece describes innovative strategies that significantly reduce both resource consumption and fossil fuel emissions.

Using artificial intelligence (AI), breast radiologists in Denmark have improved breast cancer screening performance and reduced the rate of false-positive findings.

Scientists have built upon BTE technology to develop new and improved recombinant and synthetic DNA versions of therapeutic antibodies that target CA9, called Persistent Multivalent T Cell Engager (CA9-PMTE), that shows promise in pre-clinical models a…

New research has found a connection between pleasant weather conditions and higher investment in lottery-like stocks.

A study has found that frequent mowing of Solanum elaeagnifolium, also known as silverleaf nightshade, may help create a ‘superweed.’ A professor of entomology and plant pathology has been studying silverleaf nightshade for more than a decade. New find…

A new study indicates that airplane noise may increase one’s risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases, a cluster of conditions such as heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and hypertension. The study found that people who were exposed to airplane noise l…

MIT researchers developed a technique to combine robotics training data across domains, modalities, and tasks using generative AI models. They create a combined strategy from several different datasets that enables a robot to learn to perform new tasks…
