Clemson University researchers have developed nanoparticles that can deliver drugs targeting damaged arteries, a non-invasive method to fight heart disease.

An innovative vaccine technology makes use of reengineered salmonella to deliver protective immunity. If such recombinant attenuated salmonella vaccines, or RASVs, can be perfected, they hold the promise of safe, low-cost, orally-administered defenses against viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections.

A recent study suggests that self-reported memory complaints might predict clinical memory impairment later in life.

This pioneering analysis of ancient oral microbiome ecology and function involved the contributions of 32 scientists at twelve institutions in seven countries.

Understanding why people with autism and schizophrenia have difficulties with social interaction

The study applied new numerical methods that calculate the rate of evolution of different characteristics across a whole evolutionary tree.

The proposed naming process begins by sampling and sequencing an organism’s DNA. The sequence is then used to generate a code unique to that individual organism based on its similarity to all previously sequenced organisms.

The Pell Laboratory for Advanced Biological Studies at Penn State University has received an Honor Award from the New England chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The Pell Lab was one of only three honor awards selected from more than 400 submissions. This is the highest award given to a project designed by New England architects.

A specialized 3D printing extruder could lower the costs of printing cellular structures for use in drug testing

Researchers are using fibres from fishing line and sewing thread to create inexpensive artificial muscles that could be used in medical devices, humanoid robots, prosthetic limbs, or woven into fabrics.

Researchers have made important discoveries regarding the behavior of a synthetic molecular oscillator, which could help create artificial cells

One of science's strongest dogmas is that complex life on Earth could only evolve when oxygen levels in the atmosphere rose to close to modern levels. But now studies of a small sea sponge fished out of a Danish Fjord shows that complex life does not need high levels of oxygen in order to live and grow.
