Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have a unique resource in the form of the Center for Biomolecular ...

Cancer doesn’t evolve by pure chaos. Scientists have developed a powerful new method that reveals the hidden rules guiding how cancer cells gain and lose whole chromosomes—massive genetic shifts that ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions ...

In a study published in Developmental Cell, a team led by Prof. Robert K. Naumann from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and researchers from BGI ...

Thought too hard to do, a new platform evolved proteins in mammalian cells, which could help researchers design drugs that work better in humans. “There are many, many examples, both published and ...

Ushikuvirus is a newly identified giant virus that infects amoebas, adding to a growing group of oversized viruses that scientists believe may have played an important role in the emergence of complex ...

Researchers from the University of Sydney have developed a system that mimics natural selection inside living mammalian cells but in a very controlled setting. They call it PROTEUS, short for PROTein ...

Enzymes originally evolved in high-temperature environments and later adapted to lower temperatures as Earth cooled. Scientists discovered that a key shift in enzyme function occurred over ...
