Jenny Gallop uses frog egg extract to figure out key cellular processes - which has helped understand and potentially treat two rare genetic diseases in humans.

A new legal requirement for developers to demonstrate a biodiversity boost in planning applications could make a more meaningful impact on nature recovery if improvements are made to the way nature’s value is calculated, say researchers at the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge.

Scientists at the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge have discovered that a type of white blood cell - called a regulatory T cell - exists as a single large population of cells that constantly move throughout the body looking for, and repairing, damaged tissue.

Assumptions that tropical forest canopies protect from the effects of climate change are unfounded, say researchers.

Two decades of cuckoo research have helped scientists to explain how battles between species can cause new species to arise

3D reconstructions suggest that simple marine animals living over 560 million years ago drove the emergence of more complex life by mixing the seawater around them

Ten outstanding Cambridge researchers have been elected as Fellows of the Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of sciences and the oldest science academy in continuous existence.

Researchers say it is vital that children born by caesarean section receive two doses of the measles vaccine for robust protection against the disease.

Researchers have developed a new vaccine technology that has been shown in mice to provide protection against a broad range of coronaviruses with potential for future disease outbreaks - including ones we don’t even know about
