The prize will be awarded to three researchers who discovered mechanisms that prevent the immune system from attacking the body’s own cells, thereby preventing autoimmune diseases.

Israeli researchers have developed a combined mRNA vaccine targeting Yersinia pestis, the bacterium responsible for the plague. In preclinical trials, the vaccine demonstrated high efficacy in protecting mice from the disease.

Researchers have found that a defect in the processing of tRNAs may contribute to the development of cleft lip and cleft palate—two of the most common craniofacial malformations.

Researchers have harnessed a protein from the tiny creatures to protect healthy tissues during cancer radiation treatments.

In a recent study, researchers succeeded in improving the condition of mice with pulmonary fibrosis by transplanting stem cells into their lungs.

This year’s Nobel Prizes underscore the transformative impact of the artificial intelligence revolution currently underway, with notable connections to the achievements recognized in physics and chemistry.

Scientists have long known that genetic material from mitochondria, the intracellular organelles responsible for energy production, can integrate into the DNA within the cell nucleus. A new study reveals that this phenomenon also occurs in the brain, but seems unrelated to neurodegenerative diseases.

This year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry recognizes three researchers who have developed groundbreaking tools for predicting and designing the three-dimensional structures of proteins.

The prize is awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for research that led to the development of mRNA vaccines

As long as it’s kept in the freezer, meat can last for many months – but dangerous processes occur when it’s thawed

How frequently do natural mutations occur in our cells and how significant a role do these random genetic changes play in driving evolution?

Initial studies indicate that vaccination efforts against the COVID-19 can reduce the morbidity rate and block the spread of the pandemic.
