If we asked you to think of a device that converts a chemical reaction into electricity, you’d probably say we were thinking of a battery. That’s true, but there is another device that does this that ...

Working with human breast and lung cells, scientists say they have charted a molecular pathway that can lure cells down a hazardous path of duplicating their genome too many times, a hallmark of ...

The 'cell of origin' of the second most common lung cancer and the way that it becomes dominant in the lung have been discovered, in a new study in mice and humans from researchers at UCL, the ...

Australian scientists have pinpointed likely 'cells-of-origin', the source cells that can grow into breast cancer, in women carrying a faulty BRCA2 gene who are at high risk of developing the disease.

Multicellular organisms, including humans, can be incredibly complex even though they start from one fertilized cell. The many cells that compose the tissues and organs in a body are derived from ...

Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, various diseases and even the origin of life. When you purchase through links ...

Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments discovered gene fragments that indicated a new and previously undiscovered form ...

In the early 1960s, Mack Fulwyler joined the lab of Marvin Van Dilla at the Los Alamos National Laboratory as an engineer to study the effect of fallout radiation from nuclear weapons testing on ...
