Scientists used diverse genomes to complete a fuller human DNA map. This unlocks hidden risks and improves diagnoses.

A world-first artificial cell can chase chemicals using only a membrane, an enzyme, and a pore—no DNA or motors needed.

Complex organic molecules found floating around a distant protostar could mean that space is far richer in life's precursors ...

The researchers then created a compendium of the proteins found in each of the samples. They found age-related increases in ...

Intercellular communication is a fundamental aspect of cell biology, enabling cells to exchange messages with their ...

Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...

Now, an ambitious Microsoft-funded project at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), is studying the neural activity ...

In a key advance for regenerative medicine and gut health, scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and Nanyang Technological ...

Konstanz researchers identify an enzyme that plays a role in the migration of cells in our body - not only during normal tissue formation and wound healing, but also when tumor cells metastasize. This ...

Across two new papers published Wednesday (July 23) in the journal Nature, scientists sequenced the DNA of 1,084 people ...
