To prolong the “half-life” of biopharmaceuticals such as interferon, biochemists in Germany are combining these small proteins with a molecular “balloon” that swells in the presence of water — keeping them from being quickly filtered from the blood. The “balloon” itself consists of a biological polymer and can be produced together with the pharmaceutical protein [...]

New research highlights how daily commuting patterns in mega-cities may be a critically overlooked factor in understanding the resurgence of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever, infecting 50-100 million people annually.

Scientists have found that some individuals in the vegetative and minimally conscious states, despite lacking the means of reporting awareness themselves, can learn and thereby demonstrate at least a partial consciousness.

Genes previously known to be essential to the coordinated, rhythmic electrical activity of cardiac muscle — a healthy heartbeat — have now also been found to play a key role in thyroid hormone (TH) biosynthesis, according to researchers.

Whether for introduced muskrats in Europe or oak trees in the United Kingdom, zebra mussels in United States lakes or agricultural pests around the world, scientists have tried to find new ways of controlling invasive species by learning how these animals and plants take over in new environs.
