It may seem like snail's pace compared to our COVID-19 vaccines, but the wheels are certainly turning in the development of a universal mRNA influenza vaccine. The latest has just entered trial, with many others at the same stage or even further along.

For all they do for us, our hearts aren't very good at repairing themselves. Now however, inspired by young hearts, researchers have transmuted scars into healthy tissue in mice, walking back the damage brought about by heart attacks.

Nearly 40 years in the making, scientists have supersized magnetic resonance imaging to produce never-before-seen detail of a brain. They believe this mouse model will pave the way for similar human imaging for a crucial view into how our brains age.

With AI already a big part of everyday life and its involvement only bound to increase, researchers at Duke University have asked children how they think we should treat intelligent technology.

Scientists at Duke University have developed an incredibly powerful new camera that combines dozens of lenses to capture images and video at resolutions of thousands of megapixels, in three dimensions.

Our ancestors probably didn’t smell good, but did they smell well? A new study has grown odor receptors from Neanderthals and Denisovans, and tested their sensitivities to different smells compared to modern humans.
-
Researchers have developed a new open-source program that can convert drawings or digital models into nanoscale sculptures made of DNA. In tests, the system nailed rounded objects like vases and bowls.

When glassfrogs sleep, they turn their bodies transparent in order to evade predators. Scientists have now discovered that they do so by moving their red blood cells into their liver – and the finding could have implications for human medicine.
-
It has long been believed that our prehistoric ancestors started walking on two legs as they moved from the trees into the open environment of the African savanna. A new study of chimpanzees, however, suggests that such may not have been the case.

Scientists at Duke University have created a real-time video that captures the frantic movements of a single virus as it tries to infect a cell. The video shows a part of the process that’s normally hard to see.

Engineers at Duke University have developed a novel delivery system for cancer treatment involving a radioactive implant, and demonstrated its potential against one of the disease’s most troublesome forms: pancreatic cancer.

Joint pain is a common ailment of aging, thanks to cartilage’s tendency to wear out. Researchers at Duke University have developed a new hydrogel that’s stronger and more durable than the real thing, which could make for longer lasting knee implants.
