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

Traditionally, Forensic Science relies on Human DNA for contact evidence and individual identification, but limitation arises when the blood cells obtained from the crime scene are degraded or not.

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

Artificial wombs, or ectogenesis, represent a revolutionary breakthrough in science that has the potential to change the future of reproductive health. By allowing embryos to grow completely outside the human body, this innovative technology mimics the nurturing environment of a natural womb.

These innovative testes, derived from meticulously cultured mouse cells, closely mimic the structure of natural testes, featuring the complex network of sperm tubes essential for reproduction.

Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular type of rechargeable battery in use today. They power many of the devices we rely on daily, including mobile phones and electric vehicles. These batteries are lightweight,

Ageing is accompanied by a gradual decline in physiological functions, among which deterioration of the immune system termed immunosenescence—has profound implications for human health.

Haploinsufficient genes show how losing one gene copy can affect brain development, increasing risk for neurodevelopmental disorders and behaviour changes.

Using a simple childhood observation as the starting point, we show how shifting from origin-based to boundary-based thinking resolves infinite regress and opens a clearer way to engage with fundamental concepts in physics, time, and existence

Depression has affected humans for hundreds of years. Symptoms can include persistent feelings of sadness, sleep disturbances, anxiety, and a loss of interest in social activities. Science doesn’t yet fully understand the causes and effects, but here’s what we do know: the brain is a powerful organ, and it is capable of change. Made up of a wide network of connections, it relies on chemicals, electrical impulses, and billions of neurons. Let’s explore how brain science

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.

According to a study, sleeping in a dark room works wonders for your heart. During sleep, ambient light can put stress on the brain that causes arterial inflammation, which may again lead to a stroke or heart attack. Let us delve into and explore the study further.

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.

Relational Dominance: A Testable Structural Hypothesis for Navier–Stokes Turbulence

Discover how AI is reshaping radiology, from faster diagnoses to improved accuracy, and what this means for patients and healthcare professionals.

As a pharmacist during clinical clerking, I frequently encounter patients who use the term “toilet infections” to describe symptoms that clinically align with bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infections, or yeast infections. This widespread misconception often stems from the assumption that symptoms occurring after the use of public toilets must be caused by them.

Can algorithms predict sickness before you feel it? Explore how AI is using smartwatch data and ECGs to detect diseases like Alzheimer's and AFib early.

Selective oxidation reactions are central to modern biochemistry. They enable the controlled introduction of oxygen into organic molecules, a key step in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. However, many of the enzymatic systems traditionally used for these transformations are complex and difficult to implement in practice.
