New advances in artificial intelligence, combined with growing chemical knowledge, are uncovering a more accurate way to predict smells based on molecular structure.

In 2024, while the BBB still poses a threat to targeted drug therapies, translational scientists have found ways to harness the unique chemistry of the brain to design medicines capable of permeating the barrier.

The Mother Tree Hypothesis suggests that the largest, oldest trees — the Mother Trees — are the lifeblood of the forest, quietly ensuring the ecosystem’s survival through a network beneath our feet.

By mapping the evolutionary relationships across the tree of life, we can excavate the underpinnings of sleep across all animals.

Malaria is a public health concern of utmost importance, and a promising avenue for mitigating the public health threat presented by malaria may be investigating mosquito olfactory or smell.

The release of AlphaFold 1 in 2018 achieved the first significant breakthrough, but it was AlphaFold 2 in 2020 that revolutionized the field, predicting protein structures with a level of accuracy that was previously impossible.

Your body is reshaping itself: its organs, tissues, and cellular pathways are transformed in response to physical exercise.

Studies suggest that our bodies can fight stressors like famine across generations, even after they have long since disappeared.
