A future without transplant waitlists? Tissue engineering blends biology and engineering to build living, functional human tissue.

Many physical and computational systems exhibit a familiar behavior: ordered states gradually decay in the presence of noise. Examples appear across science:

Evolution is often imagined as a process that unfolds over millions of years. However, in microorganisms such as yeasts, evolutionary changes can occur much more rapidly. Yeasts reproduce quickly, populations grow to large sizes, and genetic variations can spread through generations in a short time.

Environmental pollution in densely populated regions remains a persistent challenge, particularly where cultural, religious, and social practices intersect with fragile ecosystems. While industrial emissions and vehicular pollution have received substantial scholarly attention, the environmental impact of everyday ritual and community practices

Self-healing materials (SHMs) are substances that automatically repair damage, mimicking organic healing. These materials have a wide range of applications, including construction, biomedicine, transportation, and even textiles. SHMs can extend the longevity of manufactured goods and have numerous uses in medical healing (Crawford, 2024).

Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurological disorder with classic clinical symptoms such as dementia, cognitive decline, and behavioural changes, particularly in the ageing population.

How the fruit fly egg chamber reveals the secrets of cell migration and offers powerful insights into cancer metastasis and future therapies.

Why is mucus the biggest obstacle to lung drug delivery? Explore the mucosal barrier science reshaping how we design inhaled medicines and vaccines.

Understanding the human brain remains one of the greatest challenges in modern science. With billions of neurons forming intricate networks and constantly changing connections, the brain’s complexity makes it extremely difficult to study directly.

What if one of the most powerful models for understanding the human brain were less than an inch long, transparent, and living in a small tank? Meet Danio rerio, the zebrafish.

Tiny but powerful, basement membranes support cells, regulate barriers, and drive disease when disrupted—key players in health, aging, and cancer.

Environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs) are natural and synthetic chemicals that interfere with endocrine system function by altering hormone synthesis, transport, metabolism, and receptor binding.

Animal models have traditionally served as the cornerstone of drug safety evaluation; however, major translational challenges persist due to interspecies differences in physiology, metabolism, and genetic regulation. Many compounds demonstrating favorable toxicity profiles in animals later fail during human trials or are withdrawn post-marketing due to unforeseen adverse effects, especially hepatotoxicity and cardiotoxicity (Lee et al., 2025).

Natural polysaccharides like locust bean gum and chitosan are replacing lactose as safer, more effective carriers for inhaled medications and vaccines.

Drug repurposing is reshaping medicine. Discover how changing a drug's route of administration — not the molecule itself — can unlock new therapeutic potential.

In this study, I explore how cancer risk is distributed across the animal kingdom, emphasizing the role of life-history traits, reproductive strategies, and social behavior in shaping susceptibility to disease. Drawing on recent findings in comparative oncology, the article examines patterns that challenge traditional assumptions, such as the relationship between body size and cancer, and highlights evolutionary mechanisms that may confer resistance in certain species.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines represent one of the most significant scientific advances in modern therapeutics. Unlike conventional vaccines that use weakened or inactivated pathogens, mRNA vaccines deliver genetic instructions that enable host cells to synthesize a target antigen and stimulate an immune response.

Too big, it hits your throat. Too small, you exhale it. The sweet spot delivers drugs exactly where they're needed.

Small fruit fly is an excellent model organism used by scientists to study various aspect of human health and diseases such as development, regeneration, wound healing, cancer and stem cell research
