One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

These bacteria don’t eat food or breathe air like we do. All they need is to complete a circuit; that’s enough for them to ...

Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive ...

Genetic treatments could be the key to unlocking some rare diseases. But bringing these medicines to patients involves ...

Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new ...

Scientists have found that combining silybin with carvedilol works far better against liver fibrosis than either drug alone.

Gastric cancer cells can activate KRAS-driven signals, enabling autonomous tumor growth by producing their own WNT proteins. New research reveals how gastric cancer cells exploit WNT signaling for ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease characterized by nerve damage and consequent impairments in vision, ...

New research shows that a deeply ancient part of the brain can process visual information on its own, without help from the cortex. Scientists found that the superior colliculus, a structure shared by ...

For decades, this question has bewildered biologists. Now, by studying Placozoa, scientists at Stanford University have ...

A rare genetic variant found in families affected by schizophrenia completely abolishes the function of TAAR1, an emerging ...

It turns out sleeping isn’t just about resting your eyes, as a new study found that even ancient creatures without eyes — or even brains — need it too.
