Thanks to frequent DNA testing, researchers have found that they can treat cancers by categorizing them based on the genetic mutations that drive them—that's the field of precision medicine. But determining which drugs treat which types of cancers is …

Appeal Court judges ruled that inmates in state-run prisons did not have to enforce the 2007 current no-smoking ban in communal areas in England and Wales.

Developing and engendering clean and renewable sources of energy is one of the paramount challenges of our civilization. The most promising denominator elucidating these challenges is a 160-year-old invention known as the Fuel Cell. By the direct …

In further experiments, the researchers expressed in these cells DNA repair proteins that usually diffuse around the DNA to search out breaks. Then they pulled individual nuclei into small pores to mimic the migration and observed what happened by …

Scientists at the University of North Carolina have turned skin cells into cancer-hunting stem cells (in green) that destroy brain tumors (pink) – a discovery that could lead to the first treatment in more than 30 years.

VIDEO: This is a rotating view of a single drug-resistant leukemia cell, after it's absorbed DNA nanostructures. Fluorescent markers show that the nanostructures have been taken deep into the cell, into… view more. Credit: Image by Matthew Webber …

Researchers at The Ohio State University are working to develop DNA nanostructures that deliver medicine to drug-resistant cancer cells. These electron microscope images show the structures empty (left) and loaded with the cancer drug daunorubicin …
