Academics like keeping definition narrow but worry about tighter deadlines and more record-keeping.
There is a debate on shifting research away from biomedical treatments towards health promotion and well-being. This study examines if research agendas are responsive to these demands in cardiometabolic and mental health.
A new global organisation is trying to prevent dramatic advances in bioscience from unleashing engineered pathogens from the lab, and wants research funders, scientists and journals to help. The International Biosecurity and Biosafety Initiative for Science (IBBIS) warns that scientists might be able to order the DNA of dangerous pathogens like smallpox from unregulated companies, and wants much tighter screening of the industry.
Funders and publishers are increasingly asking researchers to account for the role of sex in experiments - a requirement that's contentious and hard to get right.
A new history of the race to decipher DNA reveals Shakespearean plots of scheming.
Millions of people around the world have received the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine against COVID-19. Now the team behind BioNTech is receiving Germany's biggest award for medicine.
Researchers in Mali have been working for decades on the treatment that's now in the final phase of clinical trials.
The risks associated with poor medical database management are ever heightened in today's global pandemic, as the world struggles with control over COVID-19.
Understanding these tiny organisms could be key to tackling threats such as coronavirus, but new research shows how little we know
Technology that speeded the development of Covid vaccines has potential to transform the pharmaceutical industry.
HHMI announces the selection of 21 exceptional early career scientists as 2020 Hanna Gray Fellows to support diversity in biomedical research. The 2022 Hanna H. Gray Fellows Program competition will open later this year.
Scientists have dreamed about the possibilities of custom-made messenger RNA. The pandemic may turn those possibilities into realilty.
Howard Hughes Medical Institute's six-figure donation is a step towards addressing racial injustice in the sciences.
The poor reporting of imaging methods in the scientific literature is hindering the evaluation and replication of biomedical research.
Microsoft Excel: 1 - Human Genetics: 0.
Europe PMC, the literature archive of EMBL-EBI, has started indexing full-text COVID-19 preprints and the associated data.
23 New Grants Support Essential Open Source Tools in Biomedicine.
While Moderna blitzed the media, it revealed very little information - and most of what it did disclose were words, not data.
The extreme metabolism of some snakes could provide leads on how to regenerate human tissue.
The objective of this review is to identify all preprint platforms with biomedical and medical scope and to compare and contrast the key characteristics and policies of these platforms.
Bioscience publishing, from preprint servers to established medical journals, is finding new and faster ways to publish Covid-19 research results.
Machine learning spots molecules that work even against 'untreatable' strains of bacteria.
Academic scientists and research institutes are increasingly being evaluated using digital metrics, from bibliometrics to patent counts. These metrics are often framed, by science policy analysts, economists of science as well as funding agencies, as objective and universal proxies for scientific worth, potential, and productivity.
The present outbreak of lower respiratory tract infections, including respiratory distress syndrome, is the third spillover, in only two decades, of an animal coronavirus to humans resulting in a major epidemic.
They are considered the probable source of the coronavirus outbreak spreading from China. It turns out that they may have an immune system that lets them coexist with many disease-causing viruses.
Preprints, or versions of manuscripts posted online by authors ahead of peer review, are seeing a strong increase in adoption and recognition among many communities in the biomedical sciences.
He Jiankui's manuscript shows how he ignored ethical and scientific norms in creating the gene-edited twins Lulu and Nana.
