At least once a month, Rita Leary incorporates food into a science lesson at Ashburn Community Elementary School. On a recent Thursday, it was all about honey. Sticky, sweet, viscous, ...

PULLMAN, Wash. — Cell walls are a crucial structure of plant life, protecting cells from damage, giving plants shape, and containing energy-rich nutrients. And yet the process of how the walls begin ...

The grant will fund a new observatory at the University of Vermont to help scientists research and better understand how ...

Researchers have developed a new way to install millions of human brain cells into mice, as a way of creating better scientific models for studying neurodegenerative disease. Using genetic tools, the ...

In recent years, there has been a lot of excitement about the potential for studying human diseases in what are called “organoids.” These small patches of tissue, formed using stem cells, appear to ...

Researchers have found a way to supercharge natural killer cells, powerful immune cells that can attack cancer, so they can penetrate solid tumors and keep fighting once inside. In mice, these ...

Cobb County's 2026 High School Teacher of the Year says her greatest purpose is helping students find theirs. Before Lisa Peacock begins a biology lesson, she asks her students to think about ...

When news breaks, you need to understand what actually matters — and what to do about it. At Vox, our mission to help you make sense of the world has never been more vital. But we can’t do it on our ...

Cancer can be just like the killer in a horror movie – it may seem like he's been destroyed forever by the Good Guy, but then he pops back up again to terrorize. Similarly, chemotherapy is designed to ...

Chemotherapy-surviving ovarian cancer cells may release fructose to help neighboring tumor cells loosen, escape, and spread. The discovery suggests that sugary diets and cholesterol-lowering drugs ...

Protective cancer immunity requires cooperative action by two major immune cell populations: dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells. DCs present antigens from apoptotic cancer cells to T cells, enabling T ...

Scientists may have found a way to destroy cancer cells without initially relying on chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation. The approach is called 'molecular jackhammer', and it relies on little more ...
