Each year, most species of bacteria in a Wisconsin lake rapidly evolved, apparently in response to dramatically changing seasons, and then evolved back.

Bioengineers have developed a new construction kit for building custom sense-and-respond circuits in human cells. The research could revolutionize therapies for complex conditions like autoimmune ...

A study of gene expression in the human brain shows that cell types become increasingly specialized, rather than simply more numerous. The human brain stands out as the organ that most distinctly ...

Rice University bioengineers have developed a new construction kit for building custom sense-and-respond circuits in human cells.

Detailed mapping of 1.2 million brain cells has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process. It opens ...

W hen some snakes bite, they can deliver a powerful punch of toxin-filled venom that damages organ systems and can even result in death. Annually, around 400,000 snakebite victims die worldwide. One ...

edX is a super popular platform that hosts a wide range of free online courses from some of the top educational institutions ...

Evolution was fueled by endosymbiosis, cellular alliances in which one microbe makes a permanent home inside another. For the ...
