Parents of newborns will describe in detail, to anyone willing to listen, the wonder that is their baby’s smell – and they might not be in the wrong.
Scientists find mechanism that allows cells to sense the curvature of tissue around them.
Only a small part of the DNA in eukaryotes (organisms with a cell nucleus) codes for the production of the proteins that make life possible. The rest is called non-coding, or sometimes, “junk” DNA. In humans this may be as much as 98% of the total DNA strand.
An increase in COVID-19 vaccinations brings with it the risk that a vaccine-resistant strain could still emerge.
A molecule known as anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a driver of several cancers, including pediatric neuroblastoma, B-cell lymphomas, and myofibroblast tumors.
A study using mice by scientists at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA reveals that cardiac muscle cells play a pivotal role in determining how the heart heals following a heart attack.
A solar-powered system for generating liquid hydrocarbon fuels from the hydrogen and carbon dioxide contained in air is currently in operation on a rooftop of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich.
Sex hormones shape how differently males and females can hear, rat study finds
Emerging infectious diseases, in particular chytridiomycosis, are responsible for drastic declines in amphibian diversity around the world. Determining the factors that influence these pathogens and how they spread can help scientists understand the dynamics involved.
A superfamily of genes involved in the most common human cancers not only fosters tumor growth but also helps shut down immune system defenses against the cancer, according to a recent study.
