Regeneration is a fundamental biological process that restores damaged tissues and organs, and understanding its underlying mechanisms is crucial for ...

Four billion years ago, Earth was violent, hot, and unstable. Yet new research suggests that by then, life had already reached a surprising level of complexity. At that time lived the last universal ...

A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...

Humans have it. So does Drosophila. But not yeast. That "it" is a small pause at the start of gene activity—a brief molecular halt that may have helped life evolve from simple cells to complex animals ...

Research revealed how bacteriophages use a tiny piece of genetic material to hijack bacterial cells and make more copies of themselves.

The bean-shaped organelles are now being recognized for their part in immune signaling, stress responses, and neural ...

Some experts think “xenobot” cells that reorganize themselves after death signify a form of consciousness—while others ...

2026 is about smarter, more natural-looking skin solutions: Expect pared-back routines, personalization, and regenerative ...

This article looks at some of the latest developments in biotech letters, exploring how new tools are helping us solve big ...

Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations ...

A new genetic mapping strategy reveals how entire networks of genes work together to cause disease, filling in the missing ...
