Artificial living organisms can move material in swarms and record information. Last year, a team of biologists and computer scientists from Tufts University and the…
Salk researchers and collaborators show how the protein damages cells, confirming COVID-19 as a primarily vascular disease. Scientists have known for a while that SARS-CoV-2’s…
When President Bill Clinton took to a White House lectern 20 years ago to announce that the human genome sequence had been completed, he hailed…
A research group at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) has discovered molecular events that determine whether cancer cells live or die. With…
A billion-year-old fossil, which provides a new link in the evolution of animals, has been discovered in the Scottish Highlands. Scientists have discovered the fossil…
Study confirms evolutionary link between social structure and selfishness. One of nature’s most prolific cannibals could be hiding in your pantry, and biologists have used…
Sponges: They are considered to be one of the most primitive forms of animal life, because they have neither locomotion organs nor a nervous system….
A bold project to read the complete genetic sequences of every known vertebrate species reaches its first milestone by publishing new methods and the first…
