Fresh DNA sequencing from 302 strays exposes 390 unique genes near the plant, challenging everything we thought about radiation survivors.

Animals come in an extraordinary range of body shapes. A starfish looks nothing like an earthworm, a mouse, or a human. Yet even closely related species can appear radically different: corals, ...

Microscopic images of human tissue are a cornerstone of biomedical research and clinical diagnostics. Yet despite their importance, these images often remain difficult to analyze systematically and to ...

Scientists from Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and University College London (UCL) have created the first lab‑grown esophagus—the food pipe—shown to safely replace a full section of the organ and ...

A team at UT Southwestern Medical Center has identified a structural trick that lets viruses translate their genetic code inside human cells, even when that code is riddled with “bad” codons the host ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

Scientists in the UK have created the first lab-grown oesophagus and implanted it in pigs, which have been able to use it to ...

Long COVID taste dysfunction linked to molecular changes in new study. Explore key findings and clinical impact. Read more.

This Research Topic explores the impact of emerging contaminants – such as microplastics and novel synthetic compounds – on soil ecosystems, with a focus on ...

Mole discovered in Vietnam that has been isolated for centuries, with unique DNA that sheds light on its evolutionary history today ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...
