Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered a mechanism that may explain why people with Darier disease, a rare genetic skin disorder, often develop symptoms years after birth and experience painful flare-ups triggered by heat, sunlight and psychological stress.

Some of Earth's oldest living organisms may be right beneath our feet: not ancient trees or coral reefs but fungi. Yet despite their ubiquity and importance, scientists still don't know how long most fungi can live—or even how to define their age.

Diamond is more than a dazzling gem—the extremely hard form of carbon makes up the pellet that encases fuel for inertial confinement fusion, and scientists believe it rains down deep inside ice giant planets like Neptune and Uranus.

Like a delivery driver navigating crowded city streets, a gene-therapy-toting lipid nanoparticle faces a gauntlet of potential detours on its journey toward a cell's nucleus.

Scientists have crossed an important line in biological engineering.

For several years, climate scientists have shown that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could come to a halt if the world warms too much. New research from Utrecht University shows that this picture is incomplete: The pace of warming also determines whether t

Aardman's effortlessly funny piratical caper with Hugh Grant as a seadog yearning to win the pirate of the year awardHere is another gem from Aardman Productions, adapted by Gideon Defoe from his children’s book. It is effortlessly and unassumingly funny – and terrifically smart.

Scientists have deliberately turned male mouse embryos into females for the first time.

University of Birmingham scientists who used green chemistry to make a next-generation metal-organic framework (MOF) for capturing heavy metals from wastewater have shown that it is cheaper and more resource-efficient to produce than a similar MOF processed conventionally.

Over a decade ago, scientists redefined how to study organ development by generating seemingly unremarkable clumps of cells.

A new study led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has shown that inflammatory arthritis occurring as a side effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors behaves like an immune-memory disease, suggesting that certain immune cell populations could serve

Research from scientists at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and collaborators has shed new light on how the human brain coordinates working memory, the process in which the brain encodes information for immediate or short-term use.
