A newly developed biomaterial derived from natural and pharmaceutical components is showing promise as a potential treatment for periodontitis. What if a fruit best known for its massive size could help repair the damage caused by one of the world’s most common causes of tooth loss? Researchers in Brazil have developed an experimental biomaterial that […]
Scientists Discover Rogue Gene That Could Unlock New Cancer Treatments
A gene normally responsible for repairing DNA may have a darker side when produced in excess. Cancer treatment is increasingly moving beyond where a tumor forms and focusing instead on the genetic flaws that drive it. Now, researchers at Penn State College of Medicine have identified an unexpected DNA repair gene that could help expand […]
Chemists Capture a Bizarre Molecular Structure Never Seen Before
Scientists caught a famous “sandwich” molecule in a rare hidden state, uncovering a long-missing step in its formation. For more than 70 years, metallocenes have been among the most important molecules in organometallic chemistry. These compounds feature a metal atom positioned between two carbon-based rings, creating a structure often described as a molecular sandwich. They […]

Mass Spectrometry Breakthrough Detects Billions of Molecules at Once
A new prototype takes mass spectrometry from analyzing a few molecules at a time to handling billions at once. Mass spectrometry is already a cornerstone technology for identifying what molecules are present in a sample and how much of each is there. However, most current instruments still examine molecules one at a time or in […]
Cambridge Scientists Just Reversed a Form of Nerve Damage Once Thought Permanent
Cambridge researchers used lab-grown human brain and spinal cord tissues to uncover a hidden mechanism that blocks nerve repair. By reversing that biological brake, they restored the ability of damaged nerve fibers to regrow. Scientists at the University of Cambridge have created miniature brain and spinal cord circuits in the lab that mimic the neural […]
