Scientists tested a new molecule called WK-13-3D on one of the toughest breast cancers to treat. Instead of trying to poison the cancer cells directly, it tricks them into breaking their own cleanup system. Every cell normally recycles old parts through a process called autophagy. In triple-negative
Scientists picked 25 female lab mice and watched how their stomach and gut bacteria changed after an infection with Helicobacter pylori—the same bug that causes most stomach ulcers and even cancer in humans. For one week the mice hosted the invader, then for another month they got powdered Weizmanni
A biotech team recently announced they hatched live chicks using a 3D-printed shell instead of a natural one. The experiment used fertilized eggs placed into this artificial structure, which was designed to control oxygen flow like a real eggshell. While this sounds impressive, critics argue it’s ju
Crickets might seem like simple creatures that just chirp at night and get eaten by lizards. But new research suggests they could feel something closer to pain than we ever gave them credit for. Scientists tested how crickets react to small injuries, and the results are harder to ignore than a bug f
Science communicators often describe their jobs as constant learning. They translate complex research into words everyone can grasp. But what happens when the research itself feels like another language? That’s the daily reality for those breaking down cutting-edge science. Take plasma physics. Exp
The brain sends out tiny electrical signals that travel through different body parts before reaching the skin’s surface. These signals don’t move in a straight line—they get mixed up, slowed down, or even hidden by muscles, fat, and other tissues. That’s why tools like EEG headsets or EMG armbands d
Finding out what LGBTQ+ life is really like in Southeast Asia isn’t easy. Researchers who try often run into problems that most people never see. From Indonesia to Vietnam, these academics face more than just data collection—they deal with social stigma, unclear rules, and sometimes personal danger.
After surgery for throat cancer linked to HPV, doctors face a tough call: which patients actually need more treatment to stay cancer-free? Not everyone does, so figuring out who can skip extra therapy without risking their health is key. Right now, doctors rely on a mix of factors like tumor size an
Soft tissues like tendons and ligaments don’t heal like bones. When damaged, they often form weak scar tissue instead of regenerating properly. This happens because tendons and ligaments have limited blood flow and few natural repair cells. Scientists have long struggled to find a way to guide bette
Scientists across the United States are feeling the strain of recent federal changes that have shaken up funding, hiring, and research freedom. A survey conducted by a university panel gathered 280 responses from fields such as biology, engineering, and public health. The results show that more than
