We have found ample evidence of crucial molecules in meteorites and asteroids, and new research has just added a bit more.

RNA vaccines saved millions of lives during COVID-19 but have limitations like waning immunity and complex production. Scientists are now testing a new platform called DoriVac, which uses folded DNA ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

A study published in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, destabilize the cancer genome. Unstable genomes are a fertile playground for cancer ...

A team from the University of Barcelona has designed and validated in animal models an innovative compound with a pioneering mechanism of action for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Unlike ...

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

Researchers create a massive single-cell atlas of the aging mouse brain, revealing how epigenetic changes and "jumping genes" drive neurodegeneration.

How does DNA structure itself from the very first moments of life? A team of researchers has just observed that DNA adopts a defined three-dimensional architecture much more rapidly than ...

They’re tenacious, which is very good for a milk jug or a car bumper. But they don’t easily break down, which is bad for the environment. From the 1950s, when plastics were first produced in ...

Cambridge researchers map the convergence of biomarkers, digital phenotyping, and AI toward biologically grounded ...
