Strength training and cardio exercise affect the body differently with regard to the types of hormones they release into the blood, new research shows. One of the conclusions of the study is that cardio exercise produces a far greater amount of the metabolic hormone FGF21 than strength training.

Studies of the song of the fruit flies reveal new findings of how the neurons in the brain function. These results can be used to uncover new knowledge on how brains in general function which in the longer term may have medical significance.

Acute myeloid leukemia is one of the most aggressive cancers. Now, scientists have developed a new biological drug with a cure rate of 50 percent for lab mice with acute leukemia.

Using advanced techniques, researchers have created the most complete catalog of cells in the male gonads. The aim: to create sperm in a dish.

Advanced microscopes have helped researchers determine at atomic resolution the structure of a molecular complex implicated in birth defects and several cancers.

Scientists have identified the cause of outbreaks of enterovirus, one of the most prevalent types of virus in the world.

Engineers have altered a virus to arrange gold atoms into spheroids measuring a few nanometers in diameter. The finding could make production of some electronic components cheaper, easier, and faster.

Computational biophysicists have cracked the secret of how cells regulate Big Potassium (BK) channels.

Researchers have discovered a previously unknown reason for drug resistance in a common subtype of melanoma, one of the deadliest forms of cancer, and in turn, have found a new therapy that could prevent or reverse drug resistance for melanoma patients with a particular gene mutation, according to a new study.

Scientists have taken important steps forward in the development of a cancer-targeting immunotherapy. Researchers developed a treatment in mice that destroys part of the tumor and stimulates the immune system to attack persistent surviving cancer cells.
