Colonies of hospital superbugs can make poisons similar to those found in rattlesnake venom to attack our bodies' natural defences.

Newly developed nanoparticles are more stable when subjected to temperature fluctuations and harsh chemical environments than currently ones.

Comparing anti-fungals produced by tobacco and henbane, researchers discovered that only a few mutations in a key enzyme are enough to shift the whole output to an entirely new product mixture.

A new study suggests women with newly-diagnosed breast cancer who receive an MRI after their diagnosis face delays in starting treatment and are more likely to receive a mastectomy.

Countries could cut the death rate and forestall the development of drug resistance if a variety of different drugs were distributed to patients suffering from malaria.

A group of scientists have proposed a new framework to account more accurately for the effects of aerosols on precipitation in climate models.

3T MRI is better at detecting and characterising structural brain abnormalities in patients with focal epilepsy than 1.5T MRI, leading to a better diagnosis and safer treatment of patients.

Linseed is said to protect against cancer - but not everybody likes the taste. Researchers have now isolated the valuable components of the flax seeds.

Scientist Live spoke with Dr. Benny Freeman about a new chlorine-tolerant chemical membrane and its potential for reducing greenhouse gases.

Researchers have discovered a submicroscopic aberration in a particular region of human chromosome 1q21.1 that appears to be associated with a variety of developmental disorders in children.

A researcher who uses high-powered computers to map the workings of proteins has uncovered a mechanism that gives scientists a better understanding of how evolution occurs at the molecular level.

According to a recent study, there are a number of barriers to overcome before the hydrogen-fuel infrastructure becomes efficient, affordable and publicly accepted.

A decrease in lung concentrations of NRF2-dependent antioxidants is linked to the severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in smokers.

Researchers believe they may have discovered a source for some of the earliest known molecular changes that signal the presence of colorectal cancer.

A study suggests that molindone, a first-generation drug, is as effective as the newer ones and should be used as a first line of therapy in some children with schizophrenia.

Although cancer remains a leading cause of death in America, it can take up to 12 years to bring a new anti-cancer agent before the FDA and the success rate for approval is only five to 10 percent.

Researchers have tested a breast cancer vaccine they say completely eliminated HER2-positive tumours in mice - even cancers resistant to current anti-HER2 therapy - without any toxicity.

Using bar-codes, TGen researchers found a way to index portions of the nearly 3-billion-base human genetic code, making it easier for scientists to zero in on the regions most likely to show variations in genetic traits.

A new study has shown that an investigational drug (R207910, currently in clinical trials against multi-drug resistant tuberculosis strains) is quite effective at killing latent bacteria.

Researchers have developed a clever method to purify parasitic organisms from their host cells, which will allow for more detailed proteomic studies.
