New evidence from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory challenges prevailing ideas about how a supermassive black hole grows in the centers of galaxies.

A team of scientists from A*STAR’s Institute of Medical Biology (IMB) and Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) together with clinicians from Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) have identified a unique set of cells in the cervix that are the cause of human papillomaviruses (HPV) related cervical cancers. Significantly, the team also showed that these cells do not regenerate when excised. These findings have immense clinical implications in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of cervical cancer. The study was published in the prestigious journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), this week.

An interdisciplinary research project carried out shows that mindfulness-based psychological therapy helps reduce anxiety and depression in cancer patients.

Imagine a world without man-made climate change, energy crunches, or foreign oil. It may sound like a dream world, but that's nuclear fusion power.

A study led by Karolinska Institutet reports for the first time the positive effects of an active vaccine against Alzheimer's disease.

Studies of Earth's climate have documented a strong correlation between global climate and atmospheric carbon dioxide. During warm periods, high concentrations of CO2 persist.

Scientists have for the first time uncovered the detailed structure of a shape-shifting shell that surrounds the genetic material of retroviruses.

Research has found that publication of perceived risk linking the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccinations to autism led to declines in the vaccination rate.

ASU astronomers have found an exceptionally distant galaxy, ranked among the top 10 most distant objects currently known in space.

NIH Scientists have identified a new HIV-suppressing protein in the blood of people infected with the virus. In laboratory studies, the protein, called CXCL4 or PF-4, binds to HIV such that it cannot attach to or enter a human cell.
