Researchers have now identified a way to reduce that risk, potentially unlocking safer cancer therapies.

Everyday chemicals are quietly damaging beneficial gut bacteria
A large study has revealed that dozens of widely used chemicals can damage beneficial gut bacteria.

The research raises new questions about how chemical exposure could be influencing human health behind the scenes.
This CRISPR breakthrough turns genes on without cutting DNA
A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act like molecular anchors.

Researchers say it opens the door to powerful therapies with fewer unintended side effects.
A missing flash of light revealed a molecular secret

Simulations revealed that a subtle molecular “handshake” was interfering with electron motion. The discovery shows that liquids can briefly organize in ways that dramatically change how electrons behave.
