Since the 1920s, researchers have been trying to breed fungus-resistant chestnut trees. Roxy Todd of member station Radio IQ in Virginia reports that a hundred years later, they're still at it.
Can autoimmune diseases be cured? Scientists see hope at last
Researchers have been trying for more than 50 years to tame the cells that are responsible for autoimmune disorders such as type 1 diabetes, lupus and multiple sclerosis.
These New Cancer Drugs Improve Outcomes for People with Hard-to-Treat
For many years researchers have sought less toxic alternatives, envisioning precision drugs that target cancers and spare healthy cells.
Study: Homework Matters More in Certain Countries
For years, researchers have been trying to figure out just how important homework is to student achievement. Back in 2009, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development looked at ...
Scientists Finish the Human Genome at Last
The complete genome uncovered more than 100 new genes that are probably functional, and many new variants that may be linked to diseases.
How were researchers able to develop COVID-19 vaccines so quickly?
To accelerate development, many COVID-19 vaccine trials are conducted in studies that combine phases 1, 2 and/or 3 where researchers begin by vaccinating a smaller number of healthy volunteers. As the trial continues, if the vaccine appears to be safe, it then opens up to more participants, such as those with preexisting health conditions.
How Is CRISPR Revolutionizing Cancer Research?
Researchers have been trying to cure cancer with various methods from cell therapy to immunotherapy, but there still isn't a reliable remedy for the disease. However, one of the more promising areas of research is the CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) method, which allows scientists to further understand how ...
I study viruses: How our team isolated the new coronavirus to fight the
Over the past few years, studies have shown that bat coronaviruses have the capacity to infect human cells. Multiple researchers had predicted a coronavirus that would evolve and jump into humans.
What neuroscience tells us about the teenage brain
For years, the teenage brain was seen by researchers, policymakers, and the public as more of a burden than an asset. Adolescents were risk machines who lacked the decision-making powers of a fully developed prefrontal cortex—and liable to harm themselves and others as a result. That narrative is beginning to change.
CRISPR, the disruptor
But many researchers are deeply worried that altering an entire population, or eliminating it altogether, could have drastic and unknown consequences for an ecosystem: it might mean that other ...
Age Reversal Breakthrough: Harvard/MIT Discovery Could Enable Whole
In a pioneering study, researchers from Harvard Medical School, University of Maine, and MIT have introduced a chemical method for reversing cellular aging. This revolutionary approach offers a potential alternative to gene therapy for age reversal. The findings could transform treatments for age-related diseases, enhance regenerative medicine, and potentially lead to whole-body rejuvenation.
The Human Genome Is Finally Fully Sequenced
Since then, geneticists have been trying to add those missing portions bit by bit. The latest group of studies identifies about an entire chromosome's worth of new sequences, representing 200 ...
Science has been in a "replication crisis" for a decade. Have we
Much ink has been spilled over the "replication crisis" in the last decade and a half, including here at Vox. Researchers have discovered, over and over, that lots of findings in fields like ...
The U.S. wants to change how researchers get access to a huge trove of
Ahead of a 15 May deadline to provide comment, researchers are highlighting concerns with the proposed policy change by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which administers Medicare and Medicaid. The two programs subsidize health insurance and medical care for people who are elderly, or have disabilities or low incomes, and CMS claims data include a wealth of ...
Human Embryo Models Made in Lab
In recent years, researchers have been looking for an easier way to study embryos: by making models of them in the lab.

How Japanese science is trying to reassert its research strength Successes in life sciences and international collaboration could be key to boosting the country's high-quality output.
Is retirement good for health or bad for it?
For years, researchers have been trying to figure out whether the act of retiring, or retirement itself, is good for health, bad for it, or neutral. A new salvo comes from researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health.
Psychology's Replication Crisis Is Running Out of Excuses
November 19, 2018. Over the past few years, an international team of almost 200 psychologists has been trying to repeat a set of previously published experiments from its field, to see if it can ...

To Communicate With Apes, We Must Do It On Their Terms
Apes and humans are even more similar than we ever imagined. Scientists have been trying to teach chimps to speak for decades, with efforts ranging from misguided to tantalizingly promising.
How Long Can We Live?
Historically, however — and somewhat flippantly, according to many researchers — their outlooks have been divided into two broad camps, which some journalists and researchers call the ...

Top 10 Challenges Faced by Researchers on the Path to Excellence
The pursuit of research excellence is not for the faint of heart; you have to overcome several challenges faced by researchers to map a path to excellence. From formulating research questions to gathering data, writing research papers, and getting them published, researchers grapple with complexities that demand their unwavering dedication and perseverance. By shedding light on the challenges ...
Tech that measures our brainwaves is 100 years old. How will we be
But that is likely to change in the coming years, once more clinical trials have been completed. Survey respondents think that EEG could become a primary tool of communication for individuals like ...
Scientific fraud solutions: Should research misconduct be illegal?
One provocative analysis from cardiologists Graham Cole and Darrel Francis estimated that there were 800,000 deaths compared to if the best practices had been established five years sooner. While ...
Larger teams worsen academic career prospects
Early-career academics are facing an increasing squeeze in the hunt for tenure-track positions and funding—and despite widespread discussion, solutions have proved evasive. Now, a new study puts a finger on a major contributor: Research teams have grown, doubling from 1.8 authors per paper on average in 1970 to 3.6 in 2004.
Facts alone fall short in correcting science misinformation
The researchers chose fluoridation for this experiment because it is less politically charged than other scientific topics like climate change or evolution. However, Danielson and his colleagues recently did a meta-analysis published in the journal Educational Psychologist of 76 other educational studies.
