UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified two lipids that work together with a quintessential protein known ...

New genomic research shows some Asgard archaea, ancestors of plants, animals, and fungi, tolerated and used oxygen. The finding supports the idea that complex life arose after oxygen levels surged and ...

New research from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) investigates harnessing the power of ferroptosis to spread cell death; reports how an ...

Researchers in Japan have identified a striking new way immune cells strip DNA out of dying neighbors, a process they call ...

All humans are born with unique traits. Some inherited traits are simple, like eye color or hair color, but some inherited traits can be life-altering. In the ...

Harvard University researchers have developed a cathodoluminescence-based multicolour electron microscopy technique that ...

Researchers have identified a lipid-driven biophysical mechanism that allows tuberculosis-causing mycobacteria to survive inside human immune cells, a discovery that could inform novel ...

Proteins long known to be essential for hearing have been hiding a talent: they also act as gatekeepers that shuffle fatty ...

A new study suggests that ancient microbes once cast as oxygen haters may have actually learned to use the gas, offering a clue to how the first complex cells — and, eventually, all plants and ...

The roots of Russia's invasion of Ukraine go back decades and run deep. The current conflict is more than one country fighting to take over another; it is — in the words of one U.S. official — a shift ...
