Current demand for plastics and chemical raw materials is met through large-scale production of ethylene from fossil fuels.

That problem is why, even though we’ve had success finding enzymes that break down common plastics like polyesters and PET, they’re only partial solutions to plastic waste. However, researchers aren’t ...

Tumors were eradicated in 30% of mice receiving cGAS LNPs injected into the tumor, in combination with immune checkpoint blockade.

Smith, a microbiologist whose discovery revolutionize the field of genetic engineering, was a Johns Hopkins School of Medicine alumnus and professor emeritus ...

Beneath the ocean’s surface, bacteria have evolved specialized enzymes that can digest PET plastic, the material used in bottles and clothes. Researchers at KAUST discovered that a unique molecular ...

Modern genetic studies show that up to 4% of human DNA comes from Neanderthals—and some of those ancient genes affect how our ...

Cambridge scientists have built a solar-powered leaf that turns carbon dioxide into sustainable fuel and everyday chemicals.

Everyone knows that the fall brings flu season, replete with aches, pains and a new version of the vaccine. But why is cold ...

A newly discovered enzyme motif reveals how ocean microbes are evolving to digest plastic, potentially aiding future cleanup ...

New research from Johns Hopkins Medicine shows that the enzyme biliverdin reductase A (BVRA) plays a direct protective role against oxidative stress in neurons, independent of its role producing the ...
