A new study has revealed that different types of cancer leave distinct molecular “fingerprints” detectable in their early ...

In the case of Deinococcus radiodurans, this principle plays out in dramatic fashion. The bacterium shrugs off massive doses ...

“Familiar” black holes, if you can call them that, typically form in the wake of dying stars that collapse inwards.

Helminths are known for their remarkable ability to regulate host immune responses, a trait that has intrigued scientists for ...

Cancer immunotherapy has revolutionized treatment for patients, whereby the body's own immune system is harnessed to destroy cancer cells. Typically, several molecules restrain the ability of T cells ...
