April 15, 2026
If scientists could shrink themselves to microscopic size and take a journey through the human body – like the submarine crew in the 1966 science fiction classic Fantastic Voyage – one of their first stops would no doubt be the liver. The unique structure of our largest internal...

April 29, 2026
Trying to untangle a knot in a mess of strings can be frustrating and time-consuming. But not so for molecular machines – molecules that convert chemical energy into mechanical work and motion. Machines from the AAA+ family, which exist in the cells of all living organisms from b...

May 12, 2026
Most prostate cancers rely on male sex hormones, known as androgens, to grow. As a result, standard treatment focuses on lowering androgen levels or blocking their activity, but many tumors eventually become resistant and the disease returns. In a study published today in EMBO...

May 14, 2026
We all begin life as a collection of embryonic stem cells that have a remarkable ability to mature into any cell type in the body. Even in adulthood, our bodies harbor small populations of adult stem cells that can develop into various mature cell types and regenerate certain tis...

May 26, 2026
While we tend to quickly forget having been ill or having received a vaccine, the immune system remembers remarkably well. It has memory B cells – “trained” immune cells that circulate throughout the body in search of harmful invaders they have encountered previously; these cells...

June 2, 2026
A key step in the origin of many pandemics occurs when an animal-borne virus infects humans and then evolves to spread more efficiently from person to person. That is why scientists and physicians keep a close watch on viruses that could jump from animals to humans, such as emerg...
