The beauty of the DNA code is that organisms interpret it unambiguously. Each three-letter nucleotide sequence, or codon, in a gene codes for a unique ...

After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres—the protective ...

New research on fern vascular systems reveals how developmental constraints don't just limit evolution—they generate new ...

New research reveals that cells can sense far beyond their immediate surroundings, a biological ability once thought to ...

Tissue expansion, originally developed for super-resolution imaging, has become a foundation for expansion omics (ExO), a ...

Degradation mechanisms of transcriptionally active aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) are unclear. This work reveals that PARP7 ...

The protein, reverse transcriptase, has become an essential tool for making DNA copies of RNA.

Researchers found that using mental models—visual, verbal, or animated—helps people understand mRNA vaccination science, ...

Inside cells, RNAs and proteins form tiny, liquid-like droplets called biomolecular condensates. These droplets are essential for organizing cellular life, yet why some RNAs cluster more readily than ...

In a quiet lab at Utrecht University, researchers have built a tool that lets you watch one of life’s most serious crises ...
