Explore how Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) works, its role in hard-to-abate industries, and how geology helps trap CO₂ to combat climate change.
Environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs) are natural and synthetic chemicals that interfere with endocrine system function by altering hormone synthesis, transport, metabolism, and receptor binding.
article discusses how plant synthetic biology is reshaping biofortification strategies, particularly through approaches such as heterologous pathway engineering and transporter-based redistribution
Discover why medical experts are rebranding Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) to PMOS, and what this metabolic shift means for patient wellness.
Cells can be understood as highly coordinated systems in which DNA functions as a comprehensive but inert blueprint, requiring precise interpretation to become biologically active. Gene expression depends on regulatory proteins that orchestrate transcription across time and space.
Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases, claiming over a million lives each year. TB is the deadliest infectious disease known today, claiming more lives than COVID-19. TB is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB spreads through the air when infected people breathe, cough, sneeze,
We begin with things - particles, fields, forces - and then build laws and equations to explain how those things behave. This approach has been extraordinarily successful. It is how we arrived at quantum mechanics, general relativity, and the Standard Model.
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.
Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurological disorder with classic clinical symptoms such as dementia, cognitive decline, and behavioural changes, particularly in the ageing population.
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.
Cells constantly sense signals from their environment and convert them into internal actions through biochemical signalling pathways.
Modern physics often assumes that the complexity we observe in the universe reflects an underlying complexity in its fundamental structure. Fields, particles, forces, and geometries are typically introduced as independent components, each carrying its own degrees of freedom.
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.
Cell and gene therapies represent a seismic shift in healthcare. They promise to cure the incurable, restoring sight to the blind and erasing cancer from the blood. But this frontier is wild. It comes with biological price tags, potential genetic misfires, and a regulatory landscape that is still being mapped.
Out of so many mental disorders, a rare disorder is the Fregoli delusion or Fregoli syndrome (FS), in which an individual holds a delusional belief that different people are in fact a single person, who keeps on changing appearances quickly or is in disguise. People affected with this condition often experience anxiety, paranoia, and agitation. It can impact the patient’s mental health and their safety and the safety of others.
Vaccines need precise temperature control to work but maintaining the cold chain wastes half of all doses globally. New thermostable formulations could change everything.
Injury is an inherent risk of sport participation. Whether at elite or recreational level, athletes are exposed to physical loads that challenge tissue capacity and recovery.
Learn how data privacy affects daily technology use, the risks of oversharing personal information, and practical ways to stay protected online.
The Internet has transformed the world, connecting people, information, and resources in unprecedented ways, even beyond physical boundaries. What began as a small research project has now grown into a global system that supports billions of devices and enables nearly every aspect of modern life. In this article, we will explore the major discoveries and milestones that contributed to the development of the Internet.
