Fruit flies, mice, zebrafish, yeast and the tiny worm C. elegans are model organisms that have carried modern biology on ...

Researchers have been studying tens of thousands of proteins and even more variations without a yardstick to compare their ...

Microbiologist Karen Guillemin considered many universities when she was searching for her first faculty position 25 years ago. In the end, she came ...

In the Arminda Suli Lab, BYU students study how early brain development influences autism spectrum disorder. The team focuses ...

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene expression. Scientists have now developed a way to silence that cellular noise, ...

A neuroscientist and assistant professor at the University of Alberta presented his research on the neural mechanisms of ...

Industrial yeasts are a powerhouse of protein production, used to manufacture vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, and other useful compounds. In a new study, MIT chemical engineers have harnessed artificial ...

Scientists have identified a conserved aging-related protein, EPS8, that promotes toxic protein aggregation linked to neurodegenerative diseases.

In Madagascar, frogs are not background noise. They are a measure of how much forest still functions. The island holds an ...

Researchers from Brown University and the University of Rochester will lead a multi-institution project to test whether reducing DNA-triggered inflammation can help older adults stay healthier for ...

A widespread bacteria called "soap scum" grows in Yellowstone National Park's thermal pools that on the surface doesn't seem ...

MIT researchers have built an AI language model that learns the internal coding patterns of a yeast species widely used to manufacture protein-based drugs, then rewrites gene sequences to push protein ...
