When most people think about natural selection, they imagine individuals competing with one another: The fastest animal ...

The Trade-off Between Physiological Authenticity and Experimental Convenience: Navigating the Cellular Foundation of ...

Scientists have developed a new technology called base editing that allows them to rewrite specific DNA letters without ...

The study, published in Nature Communications, used family studies and genetically engineered mice to understand how gene defects contribute to disease.

In the 1960s and 70s, a group of chimpanzees astonished the world by learning sign language. Only two remain and one question still lingers—was it worth it?

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in developing an artificial DNA base pair that is based on a different ...

It already exists in the natural world. Now, thanks to breakthroughs in genetic engineering, scientists have created ...

Neuroscience rarely enjoys clean experiments. Most brain disorders are mosaics of risk genes, aging, lifestyle and chance that leave their origins obscured. Huntington's disease (HD) is different. It ...

Experiments reveal that unsaturated lipid membranes promote vesicle fusion and DNA retention during freeze–thaw cycles, highlighting icy environments as potential drivers of protocell evolution. Today ...

Innovations in imaging and genetic engineering are coming together to probe the biophysics of cytoplasm inside living animals.

A bonobo demonstrated the ability to track imaginary objects in controlled tests, challenging the belief that imagination is uniquely human and hinting at deep evolutionary roots. In a set of ...
