A new study suggests that the inheritance of changes to proteins that package DNA maintains the identity of cells as they multiply.

A new study published in Nature traces the genetic histories of the last billion years of plant life on Earth. Yes, that's billion with a "b."

Researchers are examining how salt modifies surface interactions in chromatography, a key technique in the creation of drugs. This could be a step towards simplifying drug manufacture.

A previously unknown component of our cells that delivers proteins like a bike courier in heavy traffic could shed light on the mechanisms that allow cells to spread in diseases such as cancer.

Researchers have shown how measles can cause long-term damage to the immune system, leaving people vulnerable to other infections.

Stem cells of the teeth can contribute to the regeneration of non-dental organs, namely mammary glands. According to a new study from researchers at the University of Zurich, dental epithelial stem cells from mice can generate mammary ducts and even milk-producing cells when transplanted into mammary glands.

Researchers have completed an examination of, and have released, a new cross-bred hazelnut cultivar known as ‘PollyO’, and it's becoming a hit in the US.

Researchers have expanded the known network of peptides that activate GPCRs, which could open up new avenues for drug development.

A team of scientists has created a method to allow primate embryos to grow in the laboratory longer than ever before, enabling the researchers to obtain molecular details of key developmental processes for the first time.

Men with higher levels of "free" testosterone and a growth hormone in their blood are more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer, according to findings presented at the 2019 NCRI Cancer Conference.
