Scientists have discovered a molecule that shrinks brain tumors in mice, raising hopes that the compound could one day become a pill to treat glioblastoma, one of the world’s most pernicious cancers.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE), in collaboration with astrophysicists from the ...

Researchers have discovered that natural "sunscreen" compounds found in algae and cyanobacteria may also support skin and heart health. By comparing two mycosporine-like amino acids, the team showed ...

Researchers have created a targeted compound that blocks an enzyme linked to inflammation in individuals with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease, while still maintaining normal brain ...

Researchers have found that a natural aging-related molecule can repair key memory processes affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

A ring-shaped molecule may possess a cavity because of its three-dimensional structure. This cavity can accommodate a guest molecule if its size (configuration) is adequate for the cavity, while it ...

An international team has found a family of natural compounds with potential as new and more effective treatments for parasitic worms. The compounds stall the unique metabolic process that worms use ...

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease that manifests itself mainly with skin symptoms (dryness, itching, scaly skin, abnormal patches and plaques). It affects about 2% of the population and is mediated ...

Matthew Addicoat receives funding from EPSRC and the Royal Society. The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals, each a tiny pinprick of potential. And we’ve only identified 1% of them.
