Advanced imaging techniques have enabled researchers to get an unprecedented look at the inner machinery of cells to see how they respond to heat stress.

New research has identified a mutation in the PRDM16 gene that changes the metabolism of heart muscle cells and increases the risk of congenital heart failure in women.

Shantanu Dhamija discusses how AI can help scientists to fully embrace organoids in drug discovery.

A research group led by Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) finds that when common orthopedic symptoms are given, ChatGPT’s diagnosis and recommendations are inconsistent

A new collaborative study led by Sarah Tishkoff shows that Neanderthals inherited at least 6% of their genome from a now-extinct lineage of early modern humans.

A research group has discovered how to use an external electric field to control and accelerate a chemical reaction, like a ‘‘switch’’. This work could have a considerable impact on the development of new molecules.

A bacterium found in the sea can degrade a plastic that otherwise resists microbial breakdown in marine environments. This could lead to improved ways to recycle this polymer.

Bats have acquired remarkable traits throughout their evolution. But perhaps most impressive is their robust immune system. It protects bats from viruses that wreak havoc in humans, like COVID-19 or Ebola.

A team of scientists sought to identify and characterize Fanzor enyzmes in large-scale genetic databases. Their genetic mining venture, published in Science Advances, outlines the discovery of over 3,600 Fanzors in eukaryotes.

Twenty years of archaeological excavations at the Gruta da Oliveira, a cave in central Portugal, have revealed new insights into how Neanderthals cooked and dined.
