Lungs are primary excretory organ for weight loss, find researchers

When working with Ebola patients, protective gear works, but removing it can be harrowing. Seeking to protect health care workers from the precarious nature of taking off soiled gloves, Cornell University students have developed a duplex solution to a complex problem: a double-layer system.

We humans have an exceptional age structure compared to other animals: Our children remain dependent on their parents for an unusually long period and our elderly live an extremely long time after they have stopped procreating.

Fernando Amat, Philipp Keller, and William Lemon win first prize in the 2014 Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition for their video that captures the early development of a fruit fly embryo.

Breakthrough in genetic engineering could advance study of arrhythmias and heart conduction, say researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center.

A recent study published in the BMJ came to the conclusion that, "exaggeration in news is strongly associated with exaggeration in [academic] press releases."

It was the yellow color of the solution, pulled from cauliflower, that set Frederick Crane’s hallmark achievement into its final motion.

Stem cells in early embryos have unlimited potential; they can become any type of cell, and researchers hope to one day harness this rejuvenating power to heal disease and injury. To do so, they must, among other things, figure out how to reliably arrest stem cells in a Peter Pan-like state of indefinite youth and potential. It’s clear the right environment can help accomplish this, acting as a sort of Neverland for stem cells. Only now are scientists beginning to understand how.
